Uzbekistan Airways, the national flag carrier of Uzbekistan, has inaugurated a new route from Tashkent to the German city of Munich over the weekend.
The carrier has played a significant role in fostering international connections for the country. Among the many destinations the airline serves, Germany has been a pivotal partner for over three decades.
In this article, we look into the history, development, and recent expansion of Uzbekistan Airways’ flights to Germany, particularly focusing on Frankfurt and the latest route addition, Munich.
A Glimpse into the Past
In 1993, Uzbekistan Airways opened its doors to international travelers, marking a historic moment for both Uzbek citizens and guests of the country.
For the first time, they could embark on a journey from Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, to Frankfurt, a bustling business hub in the heart of Europe.
