VIM Airlines launches Sochi route to Dushanbe in Tajikistan

• VIM Airlines expanded its network to Tajikistan on 20 September when the Russian airline connected Sochi (AER) on the Russian Black Sea coast with Dushanbe (DYU), Tajikistan’s capital. The airline already serves Khujand, Tajikistan’s second-largest city, from Sochi. The new route is operated once a week with 757 aircraft, competing with Don Avia’s twice-weekly and Tajik Air’s weekly flights.
