Pegasus Introduces Three New Routes from Istanbul to Uzbekistan
Pegasus Airlines plans to launch flights from Istanbul to Bukhara and Andijan starting in December 2026, and to Termez from March 2027.
In Tashkent, Uzbekistan, on November 11, it was announced that Pegasus Airlines will introduce new routes from Istanbul. The first flight to Bukhara is scheduled for December 14, 2026, to Andijan for December 18, and flights to Termez are set to begin on March 1, 2027.
Initially, the carrier plans to operate flights to Bukhara and Termez three times a week, and to Andijan twice a week.
Agreements to expand air travel were reached during the working visit of the Chairman of the Committee for Tourism, Abdulaziz Akkulov, to Turkey. During negotiations with the airline's leadership, discussions focused on increasing the number of available flights, attracting transit passengers through Istanbul, and promoting Uzbekistan's tourism opportunities abroad.
The new routes may attract tourists not only from Turkey but also from Europe, the Middle East, and other regions. Bukhara is targeted at travelers interested in historical and cultural heritage, Andijan at the attractions of the Fergana Valley, and Termez at the archaeological and historical sites of the Surkhandarya region.
The parties also agreed to consider joint marketing campaigns, familiarization trips, and business meetings with tour operators. In the future, the possibility of opening flights to Karshi and Nukus may be explored.
