New airline Silk Avia will be created in Uzbekistan for domestic flights before October 1. This became known during the government meeting chaired by the President conference call on Tuesday.
In addition, in order to meet the demand of tourists for flights, from July 1, up to 50 percent discounts will be introduced on services provided to foreign airlines under the Pilgrimage Tourism program.
In order to reduce costs, 9 aircraft will be fully converted to economy class.
At the end of March, Rano Juraeva unveiled some details about the new regional airline Silk Avia.
The chairman of Uzbekistan Airports underscored that at the first stage, three 70-seat aircraft are expected to arrive. It is planned to launch about 40 routes across Uzbekistan - not only from the capital to the provinces, but also between regions.
