Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent International Airport)
Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport (Islom Karimov Toshkent Xalqaro Aeroporti) is the main international airport of Uzbekistan and the 3rd busiest airport in Central Asia (after Almaty International Airport and Astana International Airport in Kazakhstan). It is located 12 km from the center of Tashkent. It was named after Islam Karimov, the 1st president of Uzbekistan, from 1991 until his death in 2016.
This ICAO Category II airport is the primary hub of Uzbekistan Airways, and is the largest international airport in Uzbekistan, and the busiest in Central Asia. The airport comprises two terminals: Terminal 2 receives international flights, Terminal 3 is for domestic traffic.
Uzbekistan Airways started flying from Tashkent to New York with Airbus A310s in March 1995. The airline's schedule later that year noted that the flights made a stop in Amsterdam.
Terminal 2 was rebuilt in 2001, and renovations were completed in 2018. It has a capacity of 1000 passengers/hour and serves more than two million passengers per year. Other facilities include waiting lounges, CIP and VIP halls, restaurants and bars, currency exchange offices, duty-free shops, airlines ticket counters and sales offices, and a 24-hour pharmacy.
Terminal 3 opened in 2011 with a capacity of 400 passengers per hour. The two terminals are separated by the runway, requiring passengers transiting from international to domestic flights and vice versa to exit the airport in order to transfer between them.
In July 2017, Uzbekistan Airways began offering nonstop service to New York using its Boeing 787 fleet. Previously, all flights operated via Riga, Latvia.
The government of Uzbekistan is planning to relocate Tashkent Airport to a new site by 2030.

The first recorded settlers in what is now Uzbekistan were Eastern Iranian nomads, known as Scythians, who founded kingdoms in Khwarazm (8th–6th centuries BC), Bactria (8th–6th centuries BC), Sogdia (8th–6th centuries BC), Fergana (3rd century BC – sixth century AD), and Margiana (3rd century BC – sixth century AD). The area was incorporated into the Iranian Achaemenid Empire and, after a period of Macedonian rule, was ruled by the Iranian Parthian Empire and later by the Sasanian Empire, until the Muslim conquest of Persia in the seventh century.
