In April 2022, the President Shavkat Mirziyoyev was presented with a project to build a single international airport for the three provinces of the Fergana Valley.
In June of the same year, the CEO of Uzbekistan Airports, Rano Juraeva spoke about two scenarios for the development of airports in the Fergana Valley: the reconstruction and construction of new airports in their current locations and the construction of a single air harbor for three provinces.
