Josh Cahill claiming (at 55s seconds in) in his latest YouTube video that Turkmenistan Airlines don't have a website.

Well, they have. It's the airline's name under their country's top level tm domain. You'll also find the link on wikipedia. On that site, they even link to an official app on Apple's App Store. You can even go visit country's civil aviation authority (CAA), itself hosted on a gov government subdomain, and find a link to the airline's official website.

Yes, there's a couple of third-party websites around that use the airlines name, and yes, it does seem indeed seem hard to book a flight with them, since they don't seem to do online ticket sales for international flights. But the site under the .tm country domain seems legit enough to me. Does take away a bit of the mystique alluded to in the video. So much in fact that Josh (or his team) - rather than owning up to it - feel they need to delete comments on YouTube about it. And boy are they quick on it! Quicker than the internet censorship regime in Turkmenistan.

(Can't post links here for not having reached the minimum threshold of posts - and not going to bother)
