LOT Polish Airlines has launched new service between Warsaw and Tashkent in Uzbekistan, with the inaugural flight departing on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. The route will now operate three times weekly on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays with a Boeing 737-8 MAX.
On Thursday (March 14, 2024), LOT Polish Airlines announced the launch of new direct service between Warsaw and Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The inaugural flight departed Warsaw Chopin International Airport on Wednesday, March 13th at 22:55 and landed in Tashkent at just after 09:00 on Thursday, March 14th. Prior to departure, a ceremony was held at the airport, which was attended by Michał Fijoł, the President of the Management Board of LOT Polish Airlines, Bożena Żelazowska, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, Amirsaid Agzamkhodjaev, Ambassador of Uzbekistan in Poland and Łukasz Chaberski, acting President of the Management Board of Polskie Porty Lotnicze.
In Thursday’s announcement, Lot Polish Airlines’ President of the Management Board, Michał Fijoł, said,
“Today, we are launching another LOT Polish Airlines connection – to Uzbekistan. It is one of the most intriguing countries in the world, which has a lot to offer to passengers from Poland and Europe. The attractions of the Silk Route and the legendary landmarks of Samarkand, Khiva or Bukhara are yet another unique spots on the map of the world, which are available to travellers in the LOT Polish Airlines route network. I am also convinced that the possibility of comfortably reaching the heart of Central Asia onboard our aircraft will generate the potential for further development of tourism and economic cooperation between Poland and Uzbekistan.
“We have launched our connection having the citizens of Uzbekistan in mind as well. From Chopin Airport, which is a convenient hub, a person travelling from Tashkent can reach nearly 80 cities in Europe and North America, which are available in our route network.”
The new Warsaw-Tashkent route will now operate three times weekly on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays with a Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft. From April 2024, LOT will add a fourth weekly departure between Warsaw and Tashkent on Tuesdays.
