Shukhrat Khudaykulov, Chairman of the Board of Uzbekistan Airways, responded to public frustrations.

"Ticket prices fluctuate based on market conditions and demand. For example, the lowest fare might be $200, while the highest could be $400. However, we do not sell the lowest-priced tickets at $200.

To clarify further: each flight offers multiple fare classes. Once certain classes sell out, only more expensive options remain. This means Uzbekistan Airways is not intentionally removing cheaper classes to sell higher-priced ones. This is simply how the market operates, and everyone has the right to adjust prices accordingly," Khudaykulov stated.
