Is Bishkek The Next Shannon?

Ninety nine percent of the world has never heard of Bishkek.

A strong argument can be made that the future of aviation lies in a place called Bishkek in the little known country of Kyrgyzstan. It has fast become the gateway city for flights from Europe and from Asia into the Central Asia region. Right now it is a very strategic airport for US Military operations into the region due to its proximity to Afghanistan.

Euro Jet has expanded in Bishkek to a team of five led by the very capable Andrey Lim. I met Andrey two weeks ago in Prague and he is a real professional. He has worked for the airport for many years and knows every aspect and person there.

In the Texas they like to say, “Don’t mess with Texas.” In Bishkek, they say “Don’t mess with Andrey.” They even have a little Texas drawl there (but no big belts…yet).

Euro Jet is serious about investing in key strategic locations and Andre and his team are no exception.

Keep your eyes and ears open in the aviation world, because like Shannon has become synonymous with “fuel stop” – Bishkek is next on that list.
