Flights will be operated four times a week using Boeing 737-800 airplane designed for 189 passengers.

The opening of the new route will be an important event in the development of air services between Uzbekistan and Turkiye. For the first time in history, a direct regular air connection will be established between the cities of Tashkent and Izmir, serving to further expand tourism, business, and cultural ties between the two countries.

The opening of this route is also of particular importance for Uzbekistan Airports JSC. SunExpress is entering the aviation market of Uzbekistan for the first time and will become the third Turkish airline to operate regular flights to the country. In addition, the airline is considering the possibility of launching regular flights to airports in the Fergana Valley from the beginning of next year.

Currently, regular flights between Uzbekistan and Turkey are operated by Turkish Airlines and AJet. The entry of another major Turkish air carrier into the Uzbek market confirms the growing interest of international airlines in the country's aviation market and will serve to further expand the republic's network of international routes.

SunExpress is one of the leading low-cost airlines in Turkey, established in 1989 in cooperation with Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa. The airline is based in the cities of Antalya and Izmir and operates regular flights to more than 250 destinations in 37 countries across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia.
