For the purpose of expanding mutually beneficial cooperation between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in the field of air transportation, Somon Air has resumed flights from Dushanbe to the Uzbek capital of Tashkent.
The first flight on this air route was operated on July 28. The company uses Boeing 737-300 to operate this flight. The flight is operated once a week – on Fridays.
