The EU ban is for "All air carriers certified by the authorities with responsibility for regulatory oversight of Kyrgyzstan" - which typically means they don't trust the aviation regulator to actually regulate.
A few years ago, I did the trip from Bishkek to Osh on a taxi with two friends. It took 11 hours, cost us a grand total of $80 and allowed us to enjoy the spectacular landscapes, ranging from mountain passes to a beautiful lake in a very hot and dry area of the country.
The ban is there for a very good reason, which is a systematic and willful failure to enforce mandatory regulations. The aircraft might be new and in top condition now..the question is how it will be in a few years when the typically very relaxed approach to maintennance and safety bulletins has had a chance to take effect.
this. people can call racism or whatever they want, but like when i fly a battered-down a320 that is rocking so hard while rolling in a calm wind situation that the engines are close to hitting the ground, no autopilot the entire 2hr flight, full flaps while still crusing altitude... like no. especially the last one. i thanked the designers of those airplanes so many times, cause it was surely not the maintenance guys who kept it going. i'm undecided on the crew, i'll never know how much of it was due to their lack of training and how much was bad maintenance. (this was with some small air asia subsidiary, so definitely not the worst you can get, but also not great by any means.)
Bullshit. Most current Kyrgyzstan airlines fly very old MD80/A320/RJ85/B733s and they’ve never had a serious accident outside of some hard landings. Also, this airline belongs to the Turkish Airlines. This is like th EU being racist and ignorant as usual.
Good to see some things are looking up - Kyrgyzstan has so much potential. I think the EU ban had more to do with ground/security infrastructure than the domestic airlines
Yes, exactly. The problem is likely to be due to sloppy government control, so that when a spot check took place at a western airport of a Kyrgyz airliner, it failed. Once that happened too often, the whole country was banned. Then it was a case of "give a dog a bad name".
I'm agreed with you about the Airbus A220, it's a fantastic jet to fly. It's not a DC9/717/MD but it's about as good as it gets in the modern era. great seat configuration.
Love the A220. Based in GVA, I get to fly it often. However, I find it unusually loud if you sit over wing or just behind the engines. Best is to sit up front or at the very back.
One of the things regulators look at now is operational procedures and training. Specifically Crew Resource Management(CRM). CRM goes into how flight crews interact. Do older experienced pilots rule the cockpit by intimidation or does the younger 1st officer have the ability thru training to raise questions in a difficult situation. It is one of the reasons for a two person crew on the flight deck. In any number of aircraft incidents a co pilot quite literally sat on his hands as a senior pilot made deadly errors. The list is long of cases. Many times a carrier and regulatory authority had to fight with cultural norms to make improvements. In the US it has resulted in a period of over ten years without any passenger fatalities. It includes things like the USAir ditching in the Hudson River with no fatalities, in freezing cold temperatures.
Air Austral the other day took delivery of their first A220-300 from Montréal and flew it to Paris Charles de Gaulle from New Brunswick Canada over Ireland and the UK.
The EU doesent trust that the Kyrgys Aviation people will actually Regulate the Airlines properly, and enforce safety standards even if the individual company is doing great. Air Manas Might get an Exception like certain other countries airlines have gotten before despite the Ban on the countrys airlines.
Look what the A220 did to Air Baltic, its amazing. It can transform an entire airline massively. It’s good to maintain, hyper efficient, very safe, great payload, good range, great comfort. It’s an amazing plane by bombardier. Great that Airbus did the merge with bombardier.
I have made one flight on the A220 from MAN-ZRH and was very impressed indeed with what I found. Really comfortable and nicely finished inside and those overhead bins are Huuuuge
Great vlog as always! If you still want to fly the MD-80, contact DAT, Danish Air Transport. They still have ONE MD-83 flying. OY-RUE. The last time I saw it on TV it was flying the danes home from England after fotball exit. I will do a deal with you. Ask how much the need to let us charter the plane, and we can rent it for a few hours…
I wonder if the ban was more infrastructure related. Most current Kyrgyzstan airlines fly very old MD80/A320/RJ85/B733s and they’ve never had a serious accident outside of some hard landings.
It's the entirety of the system. Can you buy your license, are the pilots properly type qualified, are they well practiced in CRM. It's easy to fly modern planes when nothing goes wrong. But when an engine fails during takeoff, will the pilots properly manage it? Air Manus may have all the programs in place, but who is auditing the performance of the processes? That's what gets your country banned. The US recently restricted Mexican carriers for regulation deficiencies, not a ban, but embarrassing.
✈️ Noel, you should plan a flight from Riga with AirBaltics Airbus A220-300 a.k.a CS300, and compare the flight with the inaugural flight witch you took 4.5y ago 😊 And also it would be an 'quality' update because, back in the day video was 360p and without any stabilization.
I was just in Bishkek again (lived there a few years back) and booked the TezJet RJ85 because I’d only ever been on the 100 before! I didn’t know manas was even operating anymore because Kyrgyz airlines come and go so quickly 😂 this made me happy to see a bit of real Kyrgyz life seen by another foreigner and shown to the world, thanks Noel and sorry I couldn’t see y’a in Bishkek!
Fair point about blanket EU ban on Kyrg airlines. However thanks to Brexit there is absolutely nothing that UK can do to influence EU to change this policy.
Travelled to Kyrgyzstan for 20 years for work on a regular monthly rotation. Very different airport. In 1995,1996 when started there. Manas was interesting experience.Hotels were very interesting. No ATM’s back then.
That difficult ATM seems unusual to me, too! I am surprised and pleased you were able to get them to help you retrieve your card. Actually, very surprised!
Looks like you need a curve card sponsorship deal Noel 😉 - have had the exact same happen to me in regards to foreign atms swallowing my card. I wasn't quite as lucky as you getting mine back, the Thai bank just said, get a new one aha.
great video as always .you mentioned your taxi driver trying to break speed records.remember mine doing 98 miles an hour going to IST istanbul airport.glad your last taxi driver was'nt so fast as your were not wearing your seat belt.rachel will probably give you a bollocking for that and not the credit card.
At SFO there are a few domestic airlines that check in at the international terminal, even for domestic flights. I want to say it was Virgin (before being acquired by Alaska) and a few others.
Great video as always! The livery is very Swiss. From instance you could be forgiven to think it was one of their A220. Air fares definitely seem to be very cheap in that part of the world. ✈️
01:33 "They couldn't have just given it to me at the hotel." They are not allowed to give retrieved cards back to people, but even if the card was given to you, you would not be able to use it, because any swallowed card becomes inactivated to prevent fraud. So in any case, you would have to go to the bank and fill all paper work to activate your card.
yeah, the only lucky constellation is when eg. it's an ATM attached to a branch of a bank, with that branch open at the time. in that case if they feel like it and you have a good story they can retrieve it for you right then and there. if they're not open, forget it.
i loved the flight i enjoy flying with you all the time i also love the country brings back a long lost feeling deja vu you can say greetings from the netherlands
I do wonder sometimes how some airlines manage to remain banned and others with quite questionable practices are allowed to continue operating. Thanks for the video, Noel.
@@thetraveller334 Lol, it’s known that such countries are seriously corrupt from government to corporations, including lax safety checks and often fraud when it comes to pilot experience. EU is right to ban such airliners who pose danger here.
@@thetraveller334 not xenophobic but political. For example, North Korean airline companies are banned from flying North America and the EU due to being a state own entity and also because of lax inspection.
I had a similar experience with the check in at FRU. Confusing! The new A 220 is a great improvement over the old 737-700 I flew the last time I went to Osh. Thanks for the video!
To be honest I’ve only flown the E2 once. It’s a nice plane, but I flew it with an airline that crammed in a lot of seats (Widerøe), so it’s not a fair comparison. I’d love to try it with an airline that gives you a bit more space.
Why is there no A220 in Europe? Three years ago, I flew this plane (although then it was called CS300) from Riga to Amsterdam and back from Riga to Moscow.. It was the first A220 of "Air Baltic"
Such a great video! To be honest I would probably do what you have done Noel and fly on both the old and modern planes! I have still not flown on the A220 yet but I really want to 😊
If you like old Russian planes. And also military planes, you must go to the Museum located in Monino near Moscow. I was there during the World Cup and it was amazing. They have the "Russian Concorde" which was really nice to see.
Is this the custom of flight crew to close and lock the flightdeck door before boardinf PAX and now opening them until the cabin is empty? This gives no chance for aviation fans like us no chance toeven see the flight deck whilst on the ground. I noticed upon boarding the door to the cockpit was alread closed. Also on one of your flights on the new Chinese build plane the flight crew came out to the PAX cabin and would not let even Aviation enthusiastes to even SEE the cockpit? I know in the west at least after a flight upon disembarking that the flight crew would liet one stick their head into the cockpit to see it. (Maybe since 2017 my last flight on SAS they were sort of accommodating in this regard). Let me know if you can about Asia.
What a shame that this airline alongside other Kyrgyzstani airlines are banned in Europe! So how are you gonna back to the UK when it's time to go home? But anyway, you're one of the best aviation RUclipsrs! You deserve to stay in RUclips for many more years to come!
@@FoxyRhino I know, but the real question is which airline? I know that at the end of his Nepal trip, Noel flew on Etihad from Kathmandu to Manchester via Abu Dhabi, then at the end of his few days trip in Africa last time, he flew back to Manchester via Doha, so maybe let's see this time. Maybe he'll fly on Aeroflot again, but he's so adventurous these days, so something tells me that he'll fly back home on a different airline again.
Always a pleasure watching your videos , very informative with a funny twist . Keep up the good work Noel and hope to see you one day here in Perth , Western Australia and join me for a flight on my electric hydrofoils .
