Proposals on creation of lowcoster under the Uzbek Airways, the flag carrier of Uzbekistan, will be submitted to the Uzbek Ministers' Cabinet until May 1, 2018, Uzbek media reported on March 6 citing the Uzbek president’s decree “On measures aimed at ensuring security of the Uzbek citizens during their departure from the country on transport to carry out temporary labor”.
Uzbekistan Airways may create its own lowcoster in 2018, Uzbek media reported earlier referring to Deputy Chairman of the company Umid Khusanov.

"The national air carrier is studying the world experience, including the experience of the Russian Aeroflot and its "Victory" lowcoster ," he said.
Speaking about pricing, he noted that the ticket prices will depend on many factors, including airport location, a set of services on board etc.
Khusanov noted that the main directions of the lowcoster will be Russia, Turkey and Egypt.
