Tashkent-Karachi direct flight operations from Sept 3

KARACHI: Uzbekistan’s private airline Centrum Air will begin its direct flight operations between Tashkent and Karachi from September 3.

According to the aviation officials, the new service will run twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays, following coordination between the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Pakistan and aviation and transport authorities on both sides.

Officials said the Tashkent–Karachi–Tashkent route is expected to make travel faster and more convenient for business travellers, tourists, students, and pilgrims.

They added that the route could eventually serve as a broader transport corridor linking Central Asia to Karachi, Pakistan’s principal port city.

The launch adds to existing air connectivity between the two countries.

Six scheduled flights currently operate each week between Uzbekistan and Pakistan. Four on the Tashkent–Lahore route and two on Islamabad–Tashkent routes, bringing the total to eight weekly flights once the Karachi service begins.
