FlyArystan to launch direct flights between Almaty and Urgench
Starting September 3, FlyArystan will operate direct scheduled flights between Almaty and Urgench.
Flights will run twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays. This new air service is designed to improve transportation links between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and to boost tourism exchange between the two nations.
The launch of direct flights is likely to boost Khorezm region’s appeal to travelers from Kazakhstan, making travel more convenient and encouraging an increase in international tourist visits.
Khorezm is among the oldest historical and cultural regions in Central Asia. It houses world-renowned architectural monuments, such as the historical center of Khiva, Ichan-Kala, which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region also draws tourists with its traditional crafts and distinctive national cuisine.
On the eve of the new route’s launch, Khorezm region’s tourism potential was showcased to travelers from Kazakhstan. Additionally, Kazakhstan is running an information and advertising campaign to promote cultural-educational, pilgrimage, and gastronomic tourism in the area.
