Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - In order to implement and implement the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 5781 dated August 13, 2019 “On measures for the further development of the tourism sector in the Republic of Uzbekistan”, the State Committee for the Development of Tourism and JSC “Uzbekistan Airports” conduct a number of large-scale work to attract foreign airlines.

In particular, as a result of this, it was allowed to make regular flights by foreign airlines in the republic. Today, on 31 October, early in the morning, the Airbus-321 aircraft of the Turkish airline Atlasglobal Airlines made the first charter flight on the Istanbul-Bukhara route.

The first guests of the charter flight from Istanbul to the Bukhara International Airport were solemnly greeted by a number of responsible organizations led by the Bukhara regional khokimiyat. The Airbus-321 plane of the Turkish Atlasglobal Airlines airline, with the support of the Uzbek company Grand Atlas Discovery, following the Istanbul-Bukhara route and completing its first flight at Bukhara International Airport, was solemnly greeted with the warmest greetings.

The first passengers of the charter flight were Turkish journalists, bloggers, executives and employees of travel agencies, as well as a number of religious figures and scholars. “We are very glad that we came to hospitable Uzbekistan. With 25 Turkish tour operators and a hundred guests, we made the first charter flight from Istanbul to Bukhara.

We have been waiting for this for several years, because in Turkey there are a lot of people who want to come here to enjoy the history, culture and traditions of this unique country. After a positive decision on the part of Uzbekistan on the charter flight, more than 100 passengers expressed a desire to join our trip. Today we brought them to Holy Bukhara.

We are delighted with such a gala reception. It is very important for us that Bukhara, a center of rich historical heritage, be visited by friendly Turkish people. As a tour operator, we are ready to do everything possible to increase the number of tourists arriving in Uzbekistan.

The cost of the trip is one of the important factors, since the number of tourists is growing every year. We are very positive about the new reforms being carried out in your country,” Muhammad Gulseren, head of the Uchbey Travel Company, said.
