Airways announces the latest addition to its summer schedule, launching four
weekly flights to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, starting 2 June 2024 and
bookable now. Tashkent is located at the heart of Central Asia, a region known
for its rich history and diverse cultures shared with the neighbouring
countries of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan.
The
destination is the second city served by the national carrier of the State of
Qatar in the Central Asian market following Almaty, Kazakhstan. With the new service operated by an
Airbus A320 aircraft, passengers can enjoy seamless global connectivity to
Tashkent through the Best Airport in the Middle East, Hamad International
Airport, to over 170 destinations worldwide.
Qatar
Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Thierry Antinori, said: “The launch of
the new route to Tashkent is a testament to our commitment to continuously
growing our network and expanding to new corners of the world. Tashkent
provides our passengers travelling from Europe, the Middle East, and the
Americas, with the opportunity to visit Uzbekistan and the Central Asian
region, and explore the cultural wonders these destinations offer. Travellers
flying with Qatar Airways can now avail the option to fly to Tashkent as their
gateway to the region, and we look forward to future opportunities of growth in
Central Asia.”
Uzbekistan
offers a unique travel experience with its historical sites, stunning
architecture and vibrant cultural experiences. Famous for its historical cities
of Samarkand and Bukhara, travellers can explore and marvel at the Uzbek
landscapes. This beautiful destination offers an authentic taste of hearty
Uzbek cuisine, warm and welcoming local hospitality, and a unique blend of
modern and traditional experiences.
Tashkent’s
connectivity to Central Asia plays a vital role in strengthening cultural and
economic ties between countries in the region and beyond. This expansion
further solidifies Qatar Airways’ commitment to offering passengers as many
seamless direct connections as possible.
Qatar
