For private aircraft operators heading to Uzbekistan, there have been recent changes made to the accessibility of airports serving the capital city of Tashkent. According to OpsGroup, the local government is no longer allowing business aircraft to use Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport (UZTT) and is now directing them to nearby Tashkent East (UZTP, which is now the designated business aviation airport there.

Tashkent East has a single 13,123-foot (4,000-meter) runway with ILS on both ends. It is already operating to receive general aviation flights, with customs and immigration available 24/7.

The airport has no slot or PPR requirements at present, OpsGroup noted, with just a standard Uzbekistan landing permit needed. That can usually be obtained within 24 hours, it said.

Ground handling at UZTP can be arranged through Flight Consulting Group. As for fuel, like most areas in the former Soviet Union, TS-1 is available. With many similarities to jet-A, it is widely used throughout Central Asia for a variety of aircraft.
