Ukraine to resume air service with Uzbekistan after 5-year break
Uzbekistan Airways, together with Charter Flights Group, are launching a direct Tashkent-Kyiv-Tashkent flight after a five-year break of air traffic between Ukraine and Uzbekistan, reports the Ukrainian Center for Transport Strategies.
The charter flights will start on October 5 and will be operated once a week, on Saturdays. Departure from Tashkent is scheduled for 23:55pm, and arrival in Kyiv at 02:45am. Flight time is 4 hours and 50 minutes.
Boeing 757-300 and Airbus A320 aircraft will be used for these flights.
The Uzbek air carriers suspended flights to Ukraine in 2015 due to the lack of agreements between the national aviation authorities of Uzbekistan and Ukraine regarding the operation of contractual airlines.
