BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 30. Kyrgyz airline Aero
Nomad will launch scheduled passenger flights between Bishkek and
Tashkent beginning Aug. 23, expanding air connectivity between
Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan and adding a third carrier to the
route.
This was reflected in the statement by the Uzbekistan
Airports.
The airline plans to operate the service twice a week, on
Thursdays and Sundays, using Airbus A320 aircraft. The new route is
expected to provide travelers with more flight options while
supporting growing business, tourism and cultural exchanges between
the two neighboring Central Asian countries.
"With Aero Nomad entering the route, the number of airlines
operating flights between Tashkent and Bishkek will increase to
three, expanding passenger choice and contributing to the further
development of air connectivity between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan,"
the statement said.
The Bishkek-Tashkent route is currently served by Uzbekistan's
national carrier, Uzbekistan Airways, and private airline Centrum
Air. Aero Nomad's entry into the market is expected to increase
competition and improve connectivity between the capitals,
reflecting rising demand for regional air travel.
The Kyrgyz carrier is also considering further expansion into
the Uzbek market by launching scheduled services from Bishkek to
the historic cities of Samarkand and Urgench. While no timeline has
been announced, the plans underscore the airline's interest in
strengthening its presence in Uzbekistan and supporting tourism and
business travel across the region.
Launched in 2021, Aero Nomad is based at Bishkek International
Airport and operates both scheduled and charter flights with a
fleet of Airbus A320-family aircraft.
The announcement comes as Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan continue to
deepen bilateral cooperation across multiple sectors, including
transport and logistics. The two countries have stepped up efforts
to improve regional connectivity in recent years through expanded
air services, upgraded border infrastructure and new transport
initiatives aimed at facilitating the movement of passengers and
goods. The launch of Aero Nomad's flights is expected to further
strengthen these efforts by providing more convenient travel
options and enhancing links between the two countries' business and
tourism sectors.
