At its meeting on 29 October 2026, chaired by President Emomali Rahmon, the Government of Tajikistan considered the "National Civil Aviation Security Programme of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2026–2030". According to the national news agency Khovar, decisions were adopted after discussion. The same meeting considered the draft 2027 state budget law, the state external borrowing programme, a police reform programme and other items.
What is known about the content
According to the agency, citing the Civil Aviation Agency, the programme covers protection of passengers, aircraft and personnel, equipment, staff training and countering cyber threats. The full text of the programme and of the resolution is not given in available publications.
Context
In August 2024 the Government of Tajikistan had already approved a National Civil Aviation Security Programme, then for 2025–2030. Its stated aim was the safety of passengers, flight crews and ground staff and protection of airport facilities and infrastructure. The publication on the new programme does not say whether it replaces the earlier document, supplements it or is an updated version of it.
What has not been announced
The resolution number, date of entry into force, budget and funding sources, specific measures, deadlines, responsible bodies and performance indicators have not been named. It is not known whether purchases of screening equipment and training programmes are planned, and for which airports.
Our assessment: the government's decision sets a framework but does not reveal the scope of work. Without a budget and a list of measures it is impossible to say whether equipment purchases or training orders will appear, and for whom. This is flycentralasia's conclusion, not a statement by the Civil Aviation Agency.
What businesses can do. Suppliers of screening equipment, video surveillance and cybersecurity systems, and training centres for aviation security staff, should request the programme text from the Civil Aviation Agency and airports. Airlines and airports operating in Tajikistan would do well to assess in advance how new requirements may affect procedures and costs.
