NEWS FLASH
Slovenia and Uzbekistan will hold online consultations between their respective aviation authorities to discuss further practical steps in the establishment of charter and scheduled flights between the capitals of the two countries, the Uzbek government has announced. It comes following talks between Uzbekistan’s Minister for Investment, Industry, and Trade, Laziz Kudratov, and Slovenia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tanja Fajon. Based at Tashkent Airport, Uzbekistan Airways boasts a network of almost sixty destinations with a fleet of 36 aircraft.
As someone who now has to use IST for UZBE flights, i can say that a320 flights would work well on the route to Tashkent
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty debatable
Delete1x weekly should work, i know about 20-30 people myself who would be using the route
DeleteBest solution would be for JU to launch BEG-TAS so that you can connect like that.
DeleteFlying to Zagreb would of course be more prestigious ...
DeleteSure, we don't have a direct flight to Madrid, but let's fly to Tashkent instead. What a country we live in. Weird to its fullest.
ReplyDeleteMadrid should be coming back this summer, the ams flights are comedic tho
DeleteWhat are you talking about? There are no Madrid flights planned for this summer.
DeleteAMS / BRU / CPH / VIE / ZRH, not to mention all Balkan ones.
DeleteMad is one of the routes that will be published in the subsidy scheme
DeleteWhat are the other ones?
DeleteIt seems that LJU wants to become a charter hub according to Babett:

Amelia US charter flights, Cabo Verde Trade Air so why not Tashkent and soon Tokyo....
Tokyo should be coming back this summer, i remember we had 777s and 787 charters every summer before covid
DeleteYes, ANA did a few flights each summer
DeleteIf HY flies, they will be very useful for flights to Central Asia / India / Southeast / East Asia. I don't know how big is the demand to fly from LJU to the east, but if priced right, HY can give FZ a run for its money on non-Gulf routes.
ReplyDeleteThis is getting better and better Ljubljana - Uzbekistan 🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteIs there any European airlines flying to Tashkent other than TK?
ReplyDeleteAeroflot, Belavia, Red Wings,Rossiya, LOT( charters), Air Astana, Wizz Air.
DeleteSo only TK essentially
DeleteUzbeks also prefer green (nature ) countries like the Arabs. Georgia or Turkey for example receives a lot of tourists from there, why not Slovenia?
ReplyDeleteI recently looked at the airlines that fly to Tbilisi, literally all flights are tourists! This country is on fire!
DeleteYeah this is great idea cuz LJU has covered most of the European markets so all that is left is Asia 😂
ReplyDeleteSoon Ashgabat ;))
DeleteI think Bishkek via Astana is a higher priority!
DeleteHow about Teheran?
DeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteSo random OMG better work on European flights first and focus later on other regions.
ReplyDeleteNo Skopje but Tashkent instead. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteUzbekistan Airways, among all the unserved destinations, will choose Ljubjana first. Just PR, blabla, nothing from it.
Slovenia aside… Belgrade would handsomely benefit from a direct Tashkent connection… pretty significant traffic flows between Uzbekistan and Serbia and this statement - without including tourist potential which is untouched, could evolve very quickly into something quite significant, both ways.
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt there are significant traffic flows between Uzbekistan and any European country, let alone Serbia.
DeleteI know some immigrants from Central Asia live in Europe, so if there’s no other competition why not ?
DeleteJust russians fleeing mobilization are using Taškent (as the do Tbilisi and Belgrade) a a hub for further flights. Countries GDP is so small that talking about tourists is just plain hilarious. In the pre-work era Uzbeks were one of the labour force sources for Russia, so maybe if we need our own gastarbeiters...
DeleteThe Slovenians need this! Please include Timbuktu and Ulan Bator as well!
