According to the press service of the company, Uzbekistan Airways operated its first flight to Italy en route “Tashkent-Rome-Tashkent” in 2000.

In addition, in 2007 the first flight in the direction “Tashkent-Milan-Tashkent" was carried out. However, in 2019, the airline suspended flights with a number of countries, including Italy, due to the spread of COVID-19 coronavirus infection.

It is noted that the opening of new directions from Uzbekistan to the cities of Italy will serve to strengthen foreign economic and cultural-humanitarian relations and further develop the tourism sector.

“Restoration of flights to such cities as Milan, Rome, Paris will provide an opportunity to bring cultures together, as well as strengthen friendly ties between countries. Today, large-scale work is being carried out in the republic to develop tourism in the country. Creating conditions for safe tourism is one of the priority tasks set by the government,” the air carrier concludes.
