Uzbek airline Centrum Air has announced two new Russian destinations from Tashkent: Chelyabinsk and Tyumen. The first reports of the flights appeared in early November 2026. The flights use Airbus A320-family aircraft, and tickets are reportedly on sale on the airline's website and mobile app.
Tashkent–Chelyabinsk
The first flight is planned for 4 December 2026. Flights operate twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Flight time is about 2 hours 40 minutes. Flight C6957: departs Tashkent at 00:30, arrives in Chelyabinsk at 03:10. Flight C6958: departs Chelyabinsk at 04:20, arrives in Tashkent at 07:05.
Tashkent–Tyumen
The first flight is planned for 3 January 2027. Flights operate once a week, on Sundays. Flight time is about 3 hours. Flight C6447: departs Tashkent at 13:00, arrives in Tyumen at 16:00. Flight C6448: departs Tyumen at 17:30, arrives in Tashkent at 20:30.
All schedule times are local.
Fares
According to reports, round-trip tickets start at 4.4 million sums to Chelyabinsk and 4.8 million sums to Tyumen. A Russian publication cites a fare from 30,211 roubles return with cabin baggage only. Fare conditions and baggage allowances have not been disclosed.
Not yet announced
The aircraft variant and seat count. The end date of the programme. Fare and baggage conditions. The number of aircraft assigned to the flights.
Our assessment: both routes extend Centrum Air's network into the Urals and Western Siberia, but frequency is low: two flights a week to Chelyabinsk and one to Tyumen. The Chelyabinsk flights operate at night, which limits passengers' choice. Winter sales will show how durable the routes are. This is flycentralasia's conclusion, not a statement by Centrum Air.
What businesses can do
Travel agencies and receiving companies in the Southern Urals, Tyumen and Tashkent should plan programmes around the flight days and times. Operators and agencies selling connections via Tashkent should clarify through-ticket terms. Airports should include the new flights in their winter schedules.
