en.Wedoany.com Reported - Shenzhen Airport in China has officially launched the Shenzhen to Tashkent, Uzbekistan international passenger route. This is the first new international route opened by Shenzhen Airport this year, and also the airport's first direct passenger route to Central Asia.

The launch of this route has established an efficient and convenient direct connection between Shenzhen and core cities in Central Asia, providing strong support for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to deeply integrate into the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative.

This newly opened Shenzhen=Tashkent route is operated by Uzbekistan Airways, a newly introduced flag carrier airline from Central Asia at Shenzhen Airport.

The route is scheduled to operate once a week, with flights on Mondays. The inbound flight departs from Tashkent at 01:20 Beijing Time and arrives in Shenzhen at 07:40 Beijing Time; the outbound flight departs from Shenzhen at 09:10 Beijing Time and arrives in Tashkent at 16:20 Beijing Time.

Tashkent is the capital of Uzbekistan and an important political, economic, transportation, and cultural center in Central Asia. In recent years, under the framework of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, cooperation between China and Uzbekistan has continuously deepened, with close exchanges in areas such as economic and trade investment, energy resources, infrastructure construction, and cultural exchanges. The opening of this direct flight route will further shorten the travel time and distance between Shenzhen and Tashkent, facilitate personnel exchanges and economic and trade interactions between the two places, and provide a "high-speed channel" for Shenzhen enterprises to "go global" and for introducing high-quality resources from Central Asia.

As a core international aviation hub in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen Airport serves as a vital transportation pivot for multi-field exchanges and cooperation between the Greater Bay Area and countries participating in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative. With the launch of the Tashkent route, Shenzhen Airport has now established air connectivity with 42 cities in 23 "Belt and Road" partner countries.

Subsequently, Shenzhen Airport will continue to introduce foreign flag carriers such as Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways. The number of foreign airlines operating in Shenzhen is expected to increase to nearly 20, creating favorable conditions for further optimizing and upgrading the international route network, accelerating the construction of a composite regional international aviation hub, and providing stronger aviation support for Shenzhen to accelerate its development into a globally influential economic center city and a modern international metropolis, as well as for promoting high-level opening-up in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
