Uzbekistan Airports: sellers sold tickets for a non-existent flight

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 22 February this year, from early morning, passengers began arriving at Karshi International Airport with the intention of flying on a flight of the Russian Red Wings airline on the Karshi-Moscow route (Domodedovo airport). By 0800 local time, about 150 people had gathered at the airport.

However, this flight was not in the schedule at Karshi airport. Flight WZ-4492 is due to depart from Navoi airport at 15:00 today. At the same time, in the tickets purchased on the Easy Booking and Atlas Avia tour online services, the departure city is Karshi, and the departure time is 08.00.

Karshi airport explained that some air ticket offices thus compensate for the shortage of passengers in one city by selling them in another, deliberately misinforming passengers about the city of departure. But at the same time, the flight operators are obliged to organize the transfer. In this case, the transfer from Karshi to Navoi was not organized. Passengers were forced to travel to the neighboring city at their own expense in private taxis.

As reported at the Navoi airport, passengers of flight WZ-4492 are starting to arrive at the terminal. Check-in for the flight will begin at 12:00 local time.

Uzbekistan Airports is not related to the sale of air tickets.
