TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, May 31. Sariosiyo Airport in Uzbekistan’s Surkhandarya region has welcomed its first flight after 30 years of inactivity, Trend reports, citing Uzbekistan Airports.
The inbound flight was executed by Silk Avia, which will now
provide systematic operations on the Tashkent–Sariosiyo corridor
bi-weekly, with departures slated for Wednesdays and Fridays.
The airport has recently completed extensive infrastructural
enhancements, encompassing the fortification of the asphalt
concrete runway to augment its structural integrity and operational
safety.
Sariosiyo Airport, having been decommissioned for civil aviation
purposes in 1995, has now reactivated its operational status
following a three-decade hiatus. The facility has emerged as the
fifth regional aerodrome in Uzbekistan to recommence operations in
recent years, subsequent to the refurbishment and reinstatement of
air transport hubs in Muynak, Kokand, and Shakhrisabz.
