The airline was founded in April 2001 as Altyn Air. It was rebranded as Kyrgyzstan Air Company on 28 July 2006,[3] after taking over former national carrier Kyrgyzstan Airlines. On December 5, 2013, the airline was re-registered as ”Air Kyrgyzstan” Open Joint Stock Company.
On 26 October 2017, the airline suspended all operations after its sole aircraft, a Boeing 737-500 registered as EX-37501, was put into storage after a birdstrike accident.[4][5] Following the incident, the airline's CEO Zholdoshbek Bekturganov said that the airline was looking to resume operations in December 2017 after repairing the aircraft. The airline ceased operations on 29 September 2018 after its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) was revoked by the Kyrgyz government.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
