ISLAMABAD -UNS: Uzbekistan Airways, the national carrier of the Republic of Uzbekistan, is expanding its flight operations to Pakistan. Starting from October 28, 2025, the airline operates a total of four weekly flights between Uzbekistan and Pakistan, doubling the frequency of its Tashkent-Islamabad service and continuing its regular Tashkent-Lahore flights.
According to Uzbekistan Airways, the decision to expand its services was driven by strong passenger demand, with previous Islamabad flights often operating at full capacity and tickets selling out days in advance.
“Tashkent-Islamabad-Tashkent” flights operates twice weekly, every Tuesday and Saturday.
“Tashkent-Lahore-Tashkent” flights also operates twice weekly, every Wednesday and Friday.
Tashkent International Airport, the airline’s primary hub, is strategically positioned at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, offering passengers efficient connections and a comfortable travel experience. Beyond direct travel between Pakistan and Uzbekistan, the Airport serves as a strategically located transit hub connecting travelers to over 50 international destinations across Europe, North America, the Middle East, East Asia, and South-East Asia.
Uzbekistan and Pakistan share centuries-old historical, cultural, and spiritual ties rooted in the heritage of the Silk Road and the Islamic civilization. The enhanced air links will further strengthen tourism, trade, and people-to-people exchanges between the two brotherly nations.
For Pakistani tourists, Uzbekistan offers a gateway to the legendary Silk Road cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, and Kokand, all renowned for their magnificent Islamic architecture, vibrant bazaars, and shared cultural heritage.
At the same time, Uzbek visitors are increasingly drawn to Pakistan’s diverse landscapes, historic landmarks, and renowned hospitality: from the scenic valleys of the north to the bustling cultural centers of Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and others.
The increased frequency also aligns with Uzbekistan’s and Pakistan’s shared vision for greater regional connectivity, trade facilitation, and economic cooperation across Central and South Asia.
