Oman Air to launch first direct flights between Muscat and Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Oman Air will begin twice-weekly direct flights between Muscat and Tashkent on June 1, marking the Omani carrier’s first-ever service to Central Asia, the airline announced in February.

The four-hour route operates between Muscat International Airport and Tashkent International Airport and is the airline’s eighth new destination since December 2025. Flights operate on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

Oman Air currently flies to more than 45 destinations across the Middle East, Asia, Europe and Africa, and joined the oneworld alliance in July 2025, becoming its 15th member airline. The carrier carried 5.8 million passengers in 2025, a 34% increase in inbound traffic. 

One-way fares on the new route start from $200. 

Con Korfiatis, Chief Executive Officer of Oman Air, said: “The launch of Tashkent reflects Oman Air’s continued focus on building a commercially sustainable network that balances point-to-point demand with strategic growth markets. Central Asia represents a region of increasing relevance for both inbound and outbound travel, and the new service is designed to support Oman’s broader tourism ambitions by attracting visitors from Uzbekistan and the wider region.” — Oman Air press release, February 2026

Tickets for the Muscat-Tashkent service are available for booking via omanair.com and the Oman Air mobile app
