Shohin Airlines Selects A320neo Family for Fleet Expansion

Shohin Airlines, a private airline established in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, has placed an order for four Airbus A320neo Family aircraft, marking its first order with Airbus. The agreement includes two A320neo and two A321neo aircraft and was listed as an undisclosed order in Airbus’ end-of-June order book.

Registered in June 2025, Shohin Airlines plans to expand its route network and strengthen Tajikistan’s international air connectivity through the introduction of a modern fleet.

The A320neo aircraft will be configured with 176 seats, while the A321neo will accommodate 196 passengers in a two-class layout. The aircraft will support the airline’s planned services across regional and international markets.

Commenting on the agreement, Zafar Ahmadzoda, Chief Executive Officer of Shohin Airlines, said:

“Signing our first contract with Airbus is an important step for Shohin Airlines and the civil aviation sector of Tajikistan. The A320neo Family will form the foundation of our fleet as we work to provide safe, comfortable and efficient air travel while expanding the country’s international connectivity. We look forward to building a long-term partnership with Airbus as we develop our airline.”

Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Executive Vice President Sales of the Airbus Commercial Aircraft business, added:

“We are pleased to welcome Shohin Airlines as a new Airbus customer. We look forward to supporting the airline’s plans to connect Tajikistan with regional and international destinations and to building a long-term partnership.”

The Airbus A320 Family has received more than 20,000 orders worldwide. The A321neo, the largest member of the family, offers extended range and increased capacity, while the A320neo Family delivers lower fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions compared with previous-generation single-aisle aircraft.
