Tahmid Air (Russian: Компания "Тахмид") was a short-lived airline based in Almaty, Kazakhstan, which operated charter flights out of Almaty International Airport using a fleet of two Boeing 737-200 aircraft.[1]

History

Tahmid Air acquired its two aircraft in May and July 2008, marking the launch of the airline's business. On 1 April 2009, the airline license was withdrawn, shortly before the company appeared on the list of air carriers banned in the European Union.[2] At that time, all commercial Kazakh airlines except Air Astana were included in this list because of the poor maintenance standards in the country.
