Centrum Air, Uzbekistan’s rapidly expanding airline, has marked the launch of its Hyderabad–Tashkent services at an exclusive launch and networking evening held at The Leela, Hyderabad
The launch brought together senior representatives from the Embassy of Uzbekistan, Centrum Air, Uzbekistan Tourism Committee, Aeroprime Group, leading travel agents, OTAs and other industry stakeholders to celebrate the strengthening of air connectivity between Hyderabad and Uzbekistan.
The new service is set to provide travellers from Hyderabad and the wider Telangana and South India market with enhanced access to Tashkent and onward travel opportunities across Uzbekistan and beyond, while creating greater opportunities for tourism, business and trade between the two markets.
The evening commenced with the ceremonial lighting of the traditional diya by H.E. Dr Sardor Mirzayusupovich Rustambaev, the Ambassador of Uzbekistan, senior management of Centrum Air, and other dignitaries, followed by addresses highlighting the importance of the new connection.
Speaking at the occasion, Adil Mirza, Head of Agents Division, Centrum Air, said, “The launch of our Hyderabad–Tashkent service marks an important milestone in Centrum Air’s international expansion and our commitment to the Indian market. Hyderabad is a dynamic and strategically important market with strong potential for both business and leisure travel. We are delighted to connect Hyderabad directly with Tashkent and offer travellers greater access to Uzbekistan and onward destinations. We look forward to building strong relationships with the travel trade and our partners in India as we continue to expand our presence in the country”
Aeroprime Group, Centrum Air’s Exclusive General Sales Agent (GSA) in India, is spearheading the airline’s market development and trade engagement in the country.
