Chinese airline to launch flights to Samarkand

Chinese airline Loong Air plans to launch a new flight route from Xi An to Samarkand in the second half of June 2024. 

The decision to introduce the new route was made during discussions between the management of Uzbekistan Airports and representatives of Loong Air.

In addition, both parties explored opportunities to expand cargo transportation, highlighting the growing economic cooperation between China and Uzbekistan.

Loong Air, headquartered in Hangzhou, specializes in providing both passenger and cargo services. Currently, the airline operates regular passenger flights on the Chengdu-Tashkent and Xi An-Tashkent routes, with 3 flights per week on each route.
