Humo Air is preparing to launch a new regular flight, the press service of the Ministry of Transport reported.

Starting January 9, the private carrier will operate flights in the Tashkent-Fergana route. There will be three flights per week – on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Flight schedule:

•  departure from Tashkent – 14:20, arrival in Fergana – 15:15;
•  departure from Fergana – 15:45, arrival in Tashkent – 16:35;

The ticket price as of January 5 is 159,430 soums.

At the end of 2022, the Swiss investment company ValleyRoad Capital S.A. bought 100% of the state share in Humo Air for 27.2 billion soums. It was assumed that the new owner would receive the first three aircraft and launch regular flights by the end of June 2023.

However, the aircraft did not arrive until the end of the year. The low-cost airline was able to launch passenger services in December, launching flights from Tashkent to four cities – Nukus, Samarkand, Urgench and Karshi.

The company expects to operate 1,000 flights in the near future, carrying more than 200 thousand passengers. In 2024, the low-cost airline intends to launch flights to foreign cities, including Almaty, Istanbul and Dubai.
