TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, March 11. Uzbekistan’s
Ministry of Transport has allowed the resumption of bilateral
passenger flights to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia
starting from March 10, Trend reports via the ministry.
According to the statement, when organizing flights to Saudi
Arabia, airlines must take into account the end of the Umrah
season, and all pilgrims are required to leave the country before
the start of the Hajj-2026 season.
The ministry stressed that all flights must be operated in full
compliance with flight safety requirements, international air
transport regulations, as well as procedures established by the
competent authorities of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Earlier in March, Umrah trips from Uzbekistan were temporarily
suspended due to the escalation of the situation in the Middle
East.
The resumption of flights is expected to ensure safe passenger
transportation and allow pilgrims to fulfill their religious
obligations in accordance with the established schedule.
