Aero Nomad is to launch regular flights from Bishkek to Tashkent

From 23 August, Aero Nomad Airlines will launch a new scheduled international service on the Bishkek–Tashkent–Bishkek route.

Flights will operate twice a week – on Thursdays and Sundays. The new route is set to expand direct air links between the capitals of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Flights for the launch date are already available in booking systems.

The airline is also considering the possibility of further expanding its route network between the two countries. Prospects for cooperation were discussed during a working meeting between the carrier’s management and a delegation from the State Committee for Tourism Development of Uzbekistan.

Potential routes mentioned include:

• Bishkek – Samarkand – Bishkek;
• Bishkek – Urgench – Bishkek.

For the time being, these are merely routes under consideration. No dates for their possible launch or flight frequencies have been specified.

The launch of new flights could help boost mutual tourist flows and foster business ties. Samarkand is one of Uzbekistan’s main tourist centres, whilst Urgench serves as the primary transport hub for journeys to Khiva.
