TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, December 26. Uzbekistan
plans to increase the number of aircraft in its national fleet to
120 units by 2026, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev said during his
address to the Oliy Majlis and the multinational people of
Uzbekistan, Trend
reports.
“To boost domestic air travel, a new subsidy system will be
introduced. Under this mechanism, a fixed subsidy will be allocated
for each ticket sold, regardless of its price, which will help
reduce fares and stimulate demand,” the head of state said.
President Mirziyoyev also highlighted the impending adoption of
a quinquennial initiative designed to enhance the national railway
framework, focusing on the construction of supplementary corridors
intended to augment high-velocity rail interconnectivity among
urban centers.
“Starting next year, 110 kilometers of railway lines will be
built to connect Boka, Piskent, Bekabad, Boyovut, and Nurafshon
with the capital,” he said.
The president further stated that work will begin on a new
high-speed passenger rail line along the Tashkent–Samarkand route,
strengthening intercity transport links.
“Railway stations in Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, and
Navoi will be transferred to public-private partnership (PPP)
arrangements,” President Mirziyoyev concluded.
