Foreign Airline Launches Flights to Major Pakistani City

Centrum Air has launched a direct service between Lahore and Tashkent, with operations commencing on April 21, 2026.

The airline will operate two weekly flights on Tuesdays and Fridays using Airbus A320 aircraft, according to a statement issued on Tuesday. The route establishes a direct air link between Pakistan and Uzbekistan as part of the carrier’s ongoing international expansion.

Centrum Air has appointed Gerry’s Group as its representative in Pakistan to manage sales and related operations. The route is expected to serve a mix of passengers, including group travelers, independent travelers, students, and those visiting religious sites.

Uzbekistan, particularly cities such as Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara, has seen growing interest among travelers from Pakistan. Passengers flying via Tashkent will also have access to onward connections to destinations including Frankfurt, Guangzhou, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and several cities across Southeast Asia.

Introductory fares for the Lahore–Tashkent route start from USD 149, with tickets available through the airline’s website, authorized agents, and Gerry’s Group offices in Pakistan.
