Air Manas is a low-cost airline based in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Its main base is Manas International Airport.
Air Manas was founded in 2006 in Bishkek. First flight of Air Manas was carried out in December 2009. In June 2012, 49% of the air company was bought by a Turkish Pegasus Airlines. The first flight under the brand name Pegasus Asia was operated from Bishkek to Istanbul on 22 March 2013 . Now the airlines operates domestic flights between Bishkek to Osh, as well as international flights from Kyrgyzstan to India, Russia, Turkey and China.
The efforts of the Kyrgyz Government to attract foreign investments had borne fruits: mutual visits of high level Governmental Delegations gave a serious impetus to bilateral trade relations between Turkey and Kyrgyzstan. Thus, at the end of 2012 in the basis of pre-existing airline, a new Kyrgyz airline with the same name of "Air Manas" was created, where 51% - owned by Kyrgyz side, and 49% - by newly attracted strategic partner in face of the "Pegasus Airlines", the one of the leading air companies in Europe.
