Tehran-Samarkand flights to be launched
The Tehran-Samarkand-Tehran flights are set to launch on June 21, which will be operated using Airbus A320 aircraft once a week, on Wednesdays.
Iranian airline Qeshm Air, specializing in both domestic and international passenger transportation, will operate the new route between Tehran and the historical Uzbek city of Samarkand.
Many Iranian companies are active in Uzbekistan, and concrete measures must be taken in various fields including iron production, agriculture, industries and mines, as well as investments to implement agreements between the two countries, said Bakhodir Abdullaev, the ambassador of Uzbekistan to Iran, in a meeting with Gholamreza Nouri-Qezeljeh, the Iranian chairman of the Iran-Uzbekistan Parliamentary Friendship Group in April.
Considering the great importance of transit and transportation in bilateral relations, drafting a comprehensive transport cooperation plan between Iran and Uzbekistan is very important and necessary, said Nouri-Qezeljeh, in the meeting.
