Tashkent: The possibilities of enhancing Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan connectivity across all sectors are being discussed at high levels. This dialogue came to light during a meeting between Zafarbek Akhmedov, the Consul General of Uzbekistan, and Timur Madanbekov, the director of the Osh branch of Manas International Airport.
The meeting underscored the growing movement of citizens, business representatives, and tourists across the borders of the two nations, propelled by the rapid development of cooperation in trade, economics, education, science, and culture.
This increased cross-border movement has led to a rise in the number of Kyrgyzstan residents visiting Uzbekistan’s historical cities and a growing influx of visitors from various Uzbek regions to Kyrgyzstan’s resorts during the summer.
A key challenge identified in the development of tourism between the two countries is the absence of a fast and convenient transport and logistics system linking Osh and neighboring regions with Tashkent and other significant cities in Uzbekistan.
Currently, Osh Airport operates regular flights to several Russian cities and Istanbul International Airport. To accommodate the surge in passengers traveling to Issyk-Kul through Osh, flights on the Osh-Tamchy-Osh route were introduced between April and September 2023, achieving successful implementation.
