Tashkent International Airport: what's nearby, how to get there and when to go · 2026

Passengers transferring between domestic departures and international arrivals must leave the grounds entirely because the active runway physically separates the two terminals.

About the place
About the place

Separated by runways and operating as the primary base for Uzbekistan Airways, the airport handles Central Asian transit through distinct domestic and international buildings.

The complex functions as the main international gateway of Uzbekistan and the primary flight hub for Uzbekistan Airways. Separate passenger terminals handle operations: an international building equipped with duty-free stores, lounges, and exchange counters, and a domestic terminal across the airfield. Because the active runway divides them, transiting travelers must exit the facility entirely to switch between flights.

Reconstruction projects expanded the international terminal with a renovated facade, wider arrival halls, and a green outdoor seating area. Curbside drop-off zones allow direct vehicular access, though integrated traffic control cameras enforce strict stay limits and automatically issue fines for lingering cars. Travelers reaching central neighborhoods rely on local ride-hailing applications like MyTaxi and Bobur Diyor or Yandex Taxi.
