WiFi & Connectivity
Stay connected at Ashgabat International Airport — free WiFi, eSIM options and local data for Turkmenistan.
Airport WiFi at ASB
Turkmenistan blocks many foreign websites and most mainstream VPNs, so even where wifi works, expect limited access to email and most apps — plan to be offline.
The lounge has wifi, but travelers report many sites and VPNs are blocked there too — treat any connection here as unreliable for anything beyond the basics.
