Uzbekistan Airways and Azerbaijan Airlines Expand Horizons with New Code-Share Agreement — Greater Comfort and Connectivity for Passengers!

On June 13, 2025, at the head office of Uzbekistan Airways in Tashkent, the national carrier of Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan — Uzbekistan Airways and Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) — announced the signing of a new code-share agreement, opening new travel opportunities between the two countries.

A code-share agreement is a form of cooperation between airlines that allows them to operate joint flights, sell tickets under their own flight numbers, and offer passengers a wider selection of routes and convenient connections.

With launch of this agreement, travelers now enjoy increased flexibility when planning trips between Tashkent and Baku in both directions. With up to nine flights per week operated by both carriers, passengers can choose the schedule that suits them best.

The agreement also significantly enhances transit connectivity, offering more seamless international travel options through the hub airports in Tashkent and Baku.       

In addition, Uzbekistan Airways passengers will now have access to flights operated by Azerbaijan Airlines on the Samarkand – Baku – Samarkand route, extending travel options from Uzbekistan’s second most important cultural and tourist destination.      

Shukhrat Yadgarov, Deputy Chairman of the Board for Commerce and Tourism at Uzbekistan Airways, stated: “With every new agreement, we bring our cities and cultures closer together. The code-share with AZAL is not just about passenger convenience — it is a symbol of friendship and openness between Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. We are confident that this partnership will open new opportunities for travel and bring our nations even closer.”       

Jamil Manizade, Chief Commercial Officer of Azerbaijan Airlines, also added: “The partnership with Uzbekistan Airways reflects the commitment of both airlines not only to expanding their route networks but also to strengthening the ties between the peoples of our countries. We are pleased to offer passengers greater convenience, flexibility, and new travel opportunities. This agreement marks a significant step toward deeper cooperation, the development of tourism, and the reinforcement of friendship between Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan”. 

This agreement marks a significant step toward strengthening transport links between the two countries, fostering business and tourism exchanges, and improving the overall travel experience by combining the strengths of both national carriers.
