The Russian airline Utair is preparing to launch new flights to the cities of Uzbekistan.

Starting in June this year, the carrier will organize weekly flights from Samara to Bukhara and Fergana. These will be the first direct flights to these cities.

Samara – Bukhara flights will be operated on Saturdays, starting from June 3. The flight will take 2 hours and 50 minutes. Departure from Samara is scheduled for 12:44, from Bukhara - for 17:55 (local time for both airports).

Utair plans to fly on the Samara-Fergana route every Wednesday from June 7. Departure from Samara is planned at 13:00, from Fergana - at 18:10. Travel time is 3 hours 10 minutes.

Utair is gradually expanding the geography of flights to Uzbekistan. Since January, the Russian company has started operating Samara-Samarkand flights on a weekly basis. In addition, a little later, it also launched flights between Surgut and Fergana.
