Centrum Air has officially launched a new international route connecting Lahore with Tashkent, marking a significant step in enhancing regional air connectivity. The service commenced operations on April 21, 2026, offering travelers a direct link between Pakistan and Uzbekistan.
According to the airline’s announcement, the route will operate twice a week, with flights scheduled on Tuesdays and Fridays. The service will be conducted using modern Airbus A320 aircraft, ensuring a comfortable and efficient travel experience for passengers.
The introduction of this route is part of Centrum Air’s broader international expansion strategy. By adding Lahore to its network, the airline aims to tap into growing travel demand between Central Asia and South Asia, while also strengthening tourism and business ties.
Direct connectivity between Lahore and Tashkent is expected to benefit both leisure and corporate travelers. The route provides a more convenient option compared to indirect flights, reducing travel time and improving accessibility between the two regions.
Industry experts suggest that increased air links between Pakistan and Central Asian countries could open new opportunities for trade, tourism, and cultural exchange. Uzbekistan, in particular, has been actively promoting itself as a travel destination, while Pakistan continues to expand its aviation footprint.
The launch also reflects a broader trend of regional airlines exploring underserved routes to diversify their networks. With growing passenger demand and improved bilateral relations, such routes are likely to become more common in the coming years.
For passengers in Lahore, the new service offers easier access to Central Asia, while travelers from Tashkent gain a direct gateway to one of Pakistan’s largest and most vibrant cities.
