      <title>Uzbekistan Airways to begin direct Tashkent-Islamabad flights in May</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330411792/uzbekistan-airways-to-begin-direct-tashkent-islamabad-flights-in-may</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Uzbekistan Airways has announced the commencement of direct flights between Tashkent and Islamabad starting May 24, marking a major step in strengthening bilateral ties between Uzbekistan and Pakistan.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the Uzbek Embassy in Islamabad, the new air link is aimed at enhancing trade, tourism, and people-to-people connectivity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This initiative stems from collaborative efforts between the Uzbek Embassy and Uzbekistan Airways JSC to deepen cooperation and foster stronger diplomatic and economic relations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Initially, the airline will operate one flight per week on Saturdays. Talks are currently underway with Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority to finalize logistical and regulatory matters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Depending on passenger demand and operational feasibility, flight frequency may be increased in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Uzbekistan Airways is also planning to expand its services to Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city and commercial hub. Currently, the airline runs bi-weekly flights between Tashkent and Lahore on Wednesdays and Fridays, offering essential air connectivity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The expansion of Uzbekistan Airways’ flight operations is expected to significantly improve travel convenience and contribute to the growing tourism and economic exchange between the two nations.&lt;/p&gt;
