Doha-based oneworld member Qatar Airways has confirmed the latest addition to its summer schedule, launching four weekly flights to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, from 2 June.
The airline will deploy an Airbus A320 on the route, with 12 seats in business class and 132 in economy class.
Tashkent is located in the heart of Central Asia, a region known for its rich history and diverse cultures shared with the neighboring countries of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
The destination is the second city served by the national airline of the State of Qatar in the Central Asian market after Almaty, Kazakhstan.
“The launch of the new route to Tashkent is a testament to our commitment to continually grow our network and expand to new corners of the world. “Tashkent offers our passengers traveling from Europe, the Middle East and the Americas the opportunity to visit Uzbekistan and the Central Asia region and explore the cultural wonders these destinations have to offer,” said Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer Thierry Antinori.
The airline executive added: “Uzbekistan offers a unique travel experience with its historical sites, stunning architecture and vibrant cultural experiences. Famous for its historic cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, travelers can explore and marvel at the Uzbek landscapes.
“This beautiful destination offers the authentic taste of hearty Uzbek cuisine, warm and welcoming local hospitality and a unique blend of modern and traditional experiences.”
