Cheaper domestic flights in Uzbekistan from 16 October
From 16 October 2026, flying between Tashkent and the Silk Road cities costs less. Uzbekistan Airways has cut fares on its regular domestic flights, and for a classic route that saves you a long day on the road.
What the new fares look like
One-way fares from Tashkent, as published by Uzbekistan Airways on 2 October 2026, start at:
