 | Tashkent Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
Tashkent’s airport is located only 7 km from the city centre, and handles both international and domestic flights. We arrived here at 3.30 AM after a long journey, having had to change from a direct Uzbekistan Airlines flight to an Aeroflot one via Moscow only a few weeks before our holiday. This was apparently because the European Union refused to renew Uzbekistan Airlines’ license on safety grounds, which after our domestic flight with them to Khiva I understand!
The quality you need most in dealing with customs and other procedures here is patience, followed closely by sharp elbows ;) I’ve described these in some detail on my Uzbekistan page, but to summarise here: after passport checks and collecting your bags (both of which will take some time) you’ll need to fill in a customs declaration form in duplicate. This asks for information about you, your journey and (in some detail) the value of what you are bringing into the country, including all currencies. Next you proceed through customs, where your bags will be X-rayed as if you were leaving already. Locals arriving on our flight had obviously cleaned all the electrical goods stores in Moscow, and this is where the sharp elbows come in as queuing is unheard of.
We eventually made it through almost an hour and a half after landing. As we were travelling with a group we were met by the ever-helpful Marat and whisked to our hotel where we finally made it to bed at 5.45 AM ;)
If you’re not on a tour, there are taxis available even at that time of night but be sure to agree a price beforehand as when you’re tired and newly arrived in a country it’s all too easy to be taken in by the many unofficial “taxi drivers” who frequent the airport. It shouldn’t cost more than $10 from airport to city centre so challenge anyone who wants to charge more. Alternatively if you arrive at a more civilised hour, buses connect with the metro to reach most central destinations. Theme: Airplane

Tashkent’s airport is located south of town, approx. 4 km off the city centre (Timur park). It is divided into national (east) and international (west) parts. Both don’t have very much of shopping or restaurant option (or I was too blind to find them), so be prepared.
The shopping possibilities are not much more than small kiosks, but you get water, soft drinks, cigarettes and some overpriced souvenirs. I did not see a duty free shop, although the map lists one.
Restaurants are mor of snack bars with sandwiches and sweets and the hard stuff of course (vodka, lol).
Usbekistan Airways has several international, national and CIS flights – all info see weblinks below:

Tashkent has an international airprt. There are flights to/from about 15 countries, mainly from other Centralasian cities, Russia and Europe. The airport is comparatively small. You are only allowed to enter it, when you are in the possession of a valid flight ticket. Busses and taxis have to stop about 300m in front of the entrance. So there is a distance, where oyu have to carry your luggage. There are boys, who have carts and transport your luggage for a bit of money to the entrance, where there is a security controll.

The airport is situated a few kilometers from the centre of Tashkent. Uzbekistan airways have lots of international routes.
The metro is fast and cheap. 1 USD will buy you 20 rides on the metro. The stations are beautiful!!!
Buses are packed with people and great fun to ride. Prices are about the same as in the metro.
There are trams (tramvai) who are even more packed than the buses.
Most private cars double as taxis. You hitch a ride and pay the driver for the transport. Convenient and relatively cheap.
The minibuses (marsroutki) will stop when you signal them. Cheap and fast transport between centre and suburbs. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

I flew from Samara to Tashkent on Uzbekistan Airways. Sure, the lines were disorganized and the discipline lacking (little kids running around during landing, etc.) but overall it was quite good. The planes are maintained by a Lufthansa-trained team so that aspect appears good. The meal consisted of salami, cheese, cupcake with honey, roll, meatloaf, pasta, a bag of raisins and a tomato. Then they brought around some fresh apples. Then they brought around some yoghurt. Then it was tea. I rolled off the plane. Of course, you need the sustenance when it takes two hours to get through customs and get out of the airport. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Yuzhny Airport (IATA: TAS, ICAO: UTTT), also known as Tashkent Yuzhny Airport, is the largest airport in Uzbekistan, Yuzhny serves as the hub of Uzbekistan Airways.
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Uzbek President Islom Karimov in 1992 ordered the construction of a state airline. Uzbekistan Airways was formed with the intention of rebuilding the country's airports and transport infrastructure. Also planned from the outset was a strong presence in the international flight industry. This was characterised by the airline's maiden flight being from Tashkent to London, rather than a small domestic route.
Domestic flights were launched using aircraft formally belonging to Aeroflot. When international routes became top priority, Airbus planes were leased, starting in 1993. The international fleet now uses a mixture of Boeing and Airbus airplanes.
Uzbekistan Airways serves almost 50 destinations worldwide and at home from Tashkent. The airline owns 11 airports, 5 of which have International status. Uzbekistan Airways is not part of any partnerships or alliances.
The Government of Uzbekistan has confirmed plans to offer a 49% share in the airline to foreign investors as strategic partners with full management control. The full terms of the privatisation will be confirmed later in 2007 and a preferred bidder selected in 2008. Russia's leading airlines are expected to be the most likely bidders Leave a Comment
