New Kaliningrad-Bokhtar flight to launch in September

According to one of the airports in Russia, the airline Nordwind plans to launch transfer flights from Kaliningrad to Tajikistan.

The planes will fly to the city of Bokhtar in southwestern Tajikistan. Residents of Kaliningrad will be able to reach it with a transfer in Kazan. Flights from the capital of Tatarstan to Bokhtar are expected to start in mid-September, the announcement states.

As reported by the airline Nordwind on its Telegram channel, direct regular flights from Kazan to Bokhtar will be launched on September 12.

Flights will be operated once a week, on Thursdays. Transfer flights to Bokhtar from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kaliningrad, Makhachkala, and Mineralnye Vody will also be available to passengers with a convenient transfer in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, the announcement notes.

Although Russian airlines are opening new direct flights to Tajikistan, Tajik migrants complain that security and migration officials subject them to interrogations lasting 5-6 hours upon entering Russia, with many being denied entry and sent back.
