TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, April 15. Uzbekistan
Airways has resumed regular flights on the Tashkent-Tel Aviv route
starting April 14, Trend reports via he Embassy of Uzbekistan in
Israel.
According to the embassy, flights are operated three times a
week - on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, restoring a key air
link between the two countries.
Beginning May 3, the airline also plans to expand its schedule
by introducing additional Sunday flights on the
Tashkent–Samarkand–Tel Aviv route, with return services from Tel
Aviv to Tashkent. This step is expected to improve connectivity and
offer greater flexibility for passengers, including those traveling
via Samarkand.
Uzbekistan Airways had previously suspended flights to Tel Aviv
at the end of March amid heightened security concerns in the
region, reflecting broader instability affecting international air
traffic.
Due to the lack of concrete results between the U.S. and Iran on
the nuclear program, the U.S. and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran on February 28, while Iran, on the same
day, began striking Israel and U.S. facilities in the region with
missiles and UAVs. Through Pakistan’s mediation, a two-week
ceasefire agreement was reached between the sides on April 7. The
U.S.-Iran talks held in Islamabad on April 11 ended without
reaching an agreement.
