Centrum Air Launches Direct Lahore – Tashkent Flights, Strengthening Uzbekistan–Pakistan Connectivity
Lahore: – Centrum Air, Uzbekistan’s fastest-growing and largest private airline, is pleased to announce the launch of its new direct service between Lahore and Tashkent, commencing on April 21, 2026.
The route will operate twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays, utilizing modern Airbus A320 aircraft, offering passengers a reliable and efficient connection between Pakistan and Uzbekistan, as well as access to an expanding international network.
Centrum Air is focused on expanding international connectivity and offering competitive, customer-oriented travel solutions across a growing network of destinations. The introduction of this route reflects the airline’s ongoing international expansion strategy.
As part of this development, the airline has established its official representation in Pakistan in partnership with Gerry’s Group, a leading aviation services provider in the country.
The Lahore–Tashkent route is expected to generate strong point-to-point demand, particularly from organized travel groups, as Uzbekistan continues to grow in popularity among Pakistani travelers. Renowned for its rich cultural heritage and historical significance, Uzbekistan is home to iconic destinations such as Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara, which are increasingly attracting visitors from Pakistan.
In addition to group tourism, the route is expected to serve a diverse passenger base, including independent (FIT) travelers, students pursuing medical education, and religious tourism flows, particularly to the historic and spiritual centers of Samarkand and Bukhara.
Passengers will also benefit from onward connections via Tashkent to key international destinations such as Frankfurt, Guangzhou, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and multiple cities across Southeast Asia, positioning Tashkent as an increasingly attractive transit hub for regional and intercontinental travel.
Introductory fares for the Lahore–Tashkent route start from USD 149, making the route an attractive option for both leisure and business travelers. Tickets are now available for purchase via the airline’s official website, through its authorized sales partners, and at Gerry’s Group offices across Pakistan.
Arshad Wali Muhammad, Group Director of Gerry’s Group, commented on the appointment:
“We are delighted to partner with Centrum Air as their General Sales Agent. This appointment further strengthens Gerry’s Group’s presence in the aviation sector. Through the launch of Centrum Air in Pakistan, we aim to expand travel opportunities and promote stronger economic and cultural ties between our nations by offering convenient and cost-effective air connectivity.”
Abdulaziz Abdurakhmanov, Founder and CEO of Centrum Air, said: “We are pleased to see Centrum Air’s entry into the market of Pakistan supported by such a strong and experienced partner as Gerry’s Group. The launch of our Lahore – Tashkent route reflects our broader ambition to enhance regional connectivity and offer passengers more efficient travel options across our network.”
With this new route, Centrum Air continues to expand its network and reinforce its position as a dynamic and reliable carrier connecting Central Asia with key global destinations.
