Air India has entered into a codeshare partnership with Uzbekistan Airways to strengthen connectivity between India and Central Asia.
Effective March 20, 2026, Air India has placed its ‘AI’ code on Uzbekistan Airways-operated flights on key routes including Delhi–Tashkent, Mumbai–Tashkent and the seasonal Goa–Tashkent service.
The agreement allows passengers to book itineraries on a single ticket with baggage checked through to their final destination, improving travel convenience across both networks.
Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air India, said: “We are delighted to partner with Uzbekistan Airways as we continue to expand Air India’s global footprint. Tashkent is an increasingly important destination for leisure, business, and cultural travel, and this partnership allows us to offer our guests more choice and convenience while strengthening India’s air links with Central Asia.”
Shukhrat Khudaykulov, Chairman of the Board of Uzbekistan Airways, JSC, noted: “The signing of the codeshare agreement between Uzbekistan Airways JSC and Air India opens a new chapter in the development of aviation cooperation between our countries. For us, this is a significant step in expanding our international route network and creating additional opportunities for our passengers. On behalf of Uzbekistan Airways JSC, I would like to express my gratitude to our partners at Air India for their trust and constructive cooperation. We anticipate that this agreement will serve as a solid foundation for the further development of our partnership and the implementation of new joint initiatives in the aviation industry.”
The airlines also maintain an interline arrangement, enabling onward connectivity from Tashkent to multiple cities including Samarkand, Bukhara and Fergana.
