Utair has been denied permission to operate flights to Samarkand from Tyumen and Surgut.

In addition to Uzbekistan, the airline has lost permissions for other international routes, including Moscow – Marrakech, Saint Petersburg – Shanghai, and Ufa – Tel Aviv. The reasons for this decision have not been disclosed.

Previously, the airline was subjected to sanctions from the European Union and was involved in a lawsuit with the Armenian company Aquila Technics over engine supplies.

It is known that Utair received approval for flights on the Tyumen – Samarkand route with a frequency of three times a week last year. At that time, the carrier also planned to launch flights from Surgut to Fergana, but the future of these routes now remains uncertain.

Let us remind you that a plane flying from Ufa to Tashkent was surrounded by phantom aircraft.
