New Bukhara Airport Worth $300 Million to Open by Independence Day in 2027
The new international airport in Bukhara and its access road are to be commissioned by Independence Day in 2027. This task was set by the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
Plans for the construction of the new airport were reviewed at a meeting in Bukhara. The facility will be connected to the city center by a motor road and a dedicated BRT lane.
Pegasus Airlines is preparing direct flights to Bukhara. Next year, responsible officials are to establish regular and charter flights with Malaysia, Indonesia, Kuwait, Egypt, and Bahrain. This year, the region expects to receive 3.5 million foreign tourists, with plans to double this figure in the future.
Additionally, the authorities intend to unite Bukhara's historical complexes into a single tourism concept. The city will see the development of a tourism center, a congress hall, and hotels such as Hilton and Holiday Inn; central streets will be renovated, and parks will be improved. A tourism cluster is also planned for the Bukhara district.
