Oman Air is expanding its international network with the launch of direct flights between Muscat and Tashkent, commencing June 1, 2026.
The new service will
operate twice weekly, offering guests convenient access between the two
capitals and strengthening connectivity between Oman and Central Asia.
It’s the eighth new
route the airline has announced since December.
As Uzbekistan’s
capital and largest city, Tashkent is an increasingly popular tourist
destination, renowned for its unique culture, historic sites and monuments, and
recreational parks.
The new route is also
expected to support inbound tourism to Oman while strengthening bilateral
business and cultural ties between the two countries.
Con Korfiatis, Chief
Executive Officer of Oman Air, said: “The launch of Tashkent reflects Oman Air’s
continued focus on building a commercially sustainable network that balances
point-to-point demand with strategic growth markets. Central Asia represents a
region of increasing relevance for both inbound and outbound travel, and the
new service is designed to support Oman’s broader tourism ambitions by
attracting visitors from Uzbekistan and the wider region. We look forward to
welcoming guests from Uzbekistan to experience Oman’s renowned hospitality, and
to offering our guests seamless access to one of Central Asia’s most compelling
destinations.” -TradeArabia News Service
