Uzbekistan: Authorities to suspend flight services at Termez International Airport Nov. 1-Dec. 25

Event

Authorities will suspend flight services at Termez International Airport (TMJ) in Termez, Nov. 1-Dec. 25. The airport will undergo various upgrades during this time, including to the main runway, taxiways, lighting equipment, meteorological sensors, and radio navigation landing systems. Flights scheduled to depart TMJ during this period will instead depart from Qarshi International Airport (KSQ).

The airport closure could extend beyond Dec. 25 if damage assessments and repair works are not completed as scheduled. Lingering disruptions are possible once the airport resumes operations and officials work to clear a backlog of flights.

Advice

Confirm flights if planning to travel or route air freight through TMJ through at least Dec. 25. Do not check out accommodations until verifying onward travel. Consider using alternative regional airports and ferry services for time-sensitive travel to or from Termez.
