Centrum Air’s Direct Delhi–Tashkent Flights Take Off, Strengthening India–Uzbekistan Air Connectivity

Centrum Air, Uzbekistan’s biggest private airline, today commenced its direct passenger flights between Delhi (DEL) and Tashkent (TAS), further strengthening connectivity and opening new opportunities for tourism, trade, and cultural exchange between India and Uzbekistan. The service will operate twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays, offering travelers affordable fares, convenient schedules, and a comfortable journey onboard Centrum Air’s modern fleet.

The inaugural flight ceremony was held at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi (DIAL) in association with GMR, customs authorities, and senior airport officials.

Commencing with a traditional diya Lighting ceremony, departing passengers were welcomed into a festive atmosphere featuring decorated check-in counters, rangoli, and commemorative gifts. A cake-cutting ceremony was held at both the departure and arrival terminals to celebrate this milestone. Passengers enthusiastically took photos and selfies with specially curated props and banners to mark the occasion. The flight crew was greeted with bouquets, while the arriving passengers were welcomed in India with special goodies. The energy at the airport reflected the importance of this launch for both nations.

This launch follows a successful pre-launch celebration held on 26th September 2025 at The Grand, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, attended by His Excellency Mr. Sardor Rustambaev, Ambassador of Uzbekistan, senior dignitaries, trade partners, and media representatives. Highlights included welcome addresses, presentations on Centrum Air’s vision, an engaging lucky draw, and networking over a specially curated lunch. The event showcased Centrum Air’s commitment to the Indian market and its focus on strengthening air connectivity between India and Uzbekistan.
