As part of the event, a ceremonial welcome of the airline's first cargo plane to the capital of Latvia was organized.
It was attended by Latvian Deputy Minister of Transport Andulis Jidkovs, Chairman of the Board of Riga International Airport Laila Odin, Deputy Head of the Latvian Post Girts Rudzins and Director General of the State Revenue Service for Customs Affairs, Director of the Customs Administration Raimonds Zukuls.
According to the Latvian side, the opening of a new air route will be an important step in the development of transport and logistics cooperation between Uzbekistan and Latvia and will contribute to strengthening trade and economic ties between Central Asia and the European Union.
Andulis Jidkovs noted that he considers the introduction of direct cargo flights between Tashkent and Riga as a sign of further strengthening of Uzbekistan's position as an important logistics center in the Central Asian region.
The Flykhiva Airline now plans to regularly operate cargo flights on the Tashkent – Riga route once a week. The bulk of the transported goods are export products, postal and commercial shipments from Uzbekistan to EU countries and orders placed through international electronic trading platforms TEMU, AliExpress and others.
