The Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) has changed the number of flights from Ufa to Tajikistan, as reported on the website of the Federal Air Transport Agency.

The agency made adjustments to the previously granted permits for airlines flying from Ufa to Khujand, increasing the frequency of flights operated by “Ural Airlines” to 5 times a week, and “Severnyy Veter” to 3 times a week.

The agency also added the frequency of flights for “Ural Airlines” on routes from Ufa to Dushanbe to 5 times a week, and from Ufa to Kulob to 7 times a week.

After the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and as a result of sanctions against Moscow, most Russian airlines lost their market share, particularly in European countries.

On the other hand, in the context of the crisis, most Russian citizens are choosing Central Asian countries for travel and recreation, especially Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, as prices in these countries are relatively affordable.

Other Russian airlines, including “Aeroflot” and “Pobeda,” have also applied to operate flights from various cities in Russia to Tajikistan, but “Rosaviatsiya” has only granted permission to “Ural Airlines.”
