As a result of the negotiations, a number of agreements were reached. Accordingly, it was determined that airlines from both countries would operate flights in the following directions weekly: 50 flights each way on the Tashkent–Moscow route, 23 flights on the Samarkand–Moscow route, and 14 flights from the cities of Bukhara, Urgench, Fergana, and Namangan to Moscow.

Currently, more than 310 regular air routes are being operated weekly. These agreements serve to further strengthen aviation relations between the two countries.
