Tashkent International Airport guide

Tashkent International Airport is the main air gateway to Uzbekistan and one of the busiest airports in Central Asia. It sits in the Sergeli district, about 6 km south of the city centre. The first passenger flight on the site took place on 12 May 1924, and the airport received international status in 1958.

The airport handled 9,986,445 passengers and 79,958 flights in 2025. More than 86 percent of passengers travelled on international routes. Two parallel runways serve the field: a 4,000 m concrete runway (08L/26R) and a 3,905 m asphalt runway (08R/26L).

Passenger handling is split between two separate buildings about 4 km apart, with the runways between them. Terminal 2 handles international flights and was rebuilt in 2001, then expanded to roughly double its hourly throughput by 2022. Terminal 3 opened in 2011 for domestic flights. Passengers changing between them leave the airport, and a free shuttle bus links the two. Uzbekistan Airways, the national carrier, keeps its main hub here. The state-owned operator Uzbekistan Airports manages the site, and a new airport is planned for opening later this decade.
