Fly Khiva will launch direct scheduled flights between Istanbul Airport and the Uzbek city of Termez from 30 May 2026, expanding air links between Turkey and Central Asia.
The new service will operate twice weekly and aims to improve regional connectivity, tourism, business travel and cultural exchange between the two countries. AVIAREPS will support the airline’s growth in Turkey through sales, marketing and ticketing services.
Fly Khiva said the new route connects Istanbul with one of Uzbekistan’s oldest cities, located on the banks of the Amu Darya River in the country’s south. Termez is known for its Silk Road heritage and Buddhist archaeological sites, making it an emerging destination for cultural tourism in Central Asia.
The first outbound flight from Termez to Istanbul is scheduled for 29 May 2026, departing at 19:40 and arriving at 00:45 the following day. The first return service from Istanbul to Termez will depart on 30 May at 02:15 and arrive at 06:50.
From 10 June to 24 October 2026, Fly Khiva plans to operate the route on a regular schedule. Flights from Termez will depart at 02:55 and arrive in Istanbul at 07:45, while return flights from Istanbul will leave at 09:15 and land in Termez at 13:50.
The airline described itself as a next-generation carrier focused on innovation, digital transformation and sustainable practices. Fly Khiva said it aims to strengthen connections between people, markets and ideas across the region, inspired by the historic Silk Road trade routes.
Under the new partnership, AVIAREPS will work with travel agencies, tour operators and corporate partners across Turkey to strengthen distribution channels and increase awareness of Fly Khiva’s network.
“We are pleased to launch the new Termez–Istanbul route, which marks an important step in strengthening connections between Uzbekistan and Turkey,” said Aziz Khodzhaev, Sales Director at Fly Khiva.
“This new service will facilitate tourism, trade relations and cultural exchange, while offering our passengers more convenient travel opportunities between the two countries. We believe this route will contribute positively to growing cooperation in aviation and regional development.”
“We are delighted to welcome Fly Khiva to our global airline portfolio,” said Aslı Erkan, General Manager of AVIAREPS Turkey.
“The new direct flights between Termez and Istanbul will offer travelers easy access to Central Asia. With our experienced local sales team, we look forward to building strong commercial relationships on behalf of Fly Khiva and supporting the airline’s growth in the Turkish market.”
