Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 22 December, at 12:53 local time, a plane of the Iranian airline Qeshm Air landed at Tashkent International Airport. The Airbus A300-600 board, following the direction Tehran-Tashkent-Alma-Ata-Tehran, was traditionally greeted with a water arch.

It is planned that regular flights will be carried out once a week - on Thursdays.

The opening of flights is the result of agreements between the leadership of Uzbekistan and Iran, reached during the official visit of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ibrahim Raisi, to our country in September this year. In particular, during the visit, a program of cooperation in the field of tourism was adopted, aimed at simplifying a number of visa procedures and enhancing tourist flows between Iran and Uzbekistan.
