Uzbekistan planes will bypass Russia and Belarus

Uzbekistan Airways planes are currently bypassing Russia and Belarus. Since January 20, planes have been using the air route through Azerbaijan and Turkey.

This decision was made after the report of the European Aviation Safety Agency on the danger of flights over the European territory of Russia. “Of course, this will extend the flight by 30-40 minutes one way and incur additional costs for the company. Nevertheless, we did not raise fares, because this is a force majeure situation and the passenger should not be responsible for it,” said the head of the airline.

Recall that on the morning of December 25, 2024, an Azerbaijan Airlines plane flying from Baku to Grozny was damaged over the territory of Chechnya as a result of an air defense attack. The plane crashed in Kazakhstan.
