Due to temporary air travel restrictions in the region, Turkmenistan is utilizing its transit capacity to facilitate foreign citizens. The Russian Embassy in Ashgabat has published a proven border crossing procedure for those planning to return from Iran by land.

The Serakhs border crossing on the Iranian-Turkmen border has been designated a key transit hub. This route has become an alternative for citizens unable to take direct flights from Tehran and other Iranian cities due to the closure of air corridors.

A clear coordination scheme has been developed to ensure unimpeded road travel through Turkmenistan. Russian citizens must submit a package of documents to the diplomatic mission in Iran in advance to coordinate transit with the Turkmen side, TASS reported.

Turkmenistan, which shares a land border with Iran stretching over 1,100 km, is once again demonstrating its willingness to act as a secure and predictable partner, ensuring logistical connectivity in the region even in the face of force majeure.

Earlier, Turkmenistan Airlines suspended flights to Dubai and Jeddah until March 4.
