A direct air connection has officially been established between Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, and Pusan, a major city of strategic importance in South Korea. Now our compatriots and tourists from Pusan will no longer have to endure a long and time-consuming journey through Seoul. This was reported by the "Dunyo" information agency under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan.
The first flight — a historic event!
The modern and spacious A-330 aircraft of "Qanot Sharq" airline landed for the first time at Pusan International Airport. According to great tradition, the plane was greeted with a special water arch at the airport — a symbol of the ceremonial welcome of significant flights in world aviation.
On the eve of the flight, a special opening ceremony took place at Pusan Airport. Officials from both countries, representatives of the tourism sector, journalists, and passengers of the first flight participated. They assessed this connection as an important step that would breathe new life into economic, cultural, and tourism relations between the two countries.
Previous problems are now history
Previously, tourists and entrepreneurs from Pusan had to fly to Seoul first to reach Tashkent, and then travel for 4 hours on the ground. This required not only time but also additional expenses. Now, a direct flight from Tashkent to Pusan has been established. This innovation means convenience and efficiency for the citizens of both countries.
Regular flights every week
Regular flights operated by "Qanot Sharq" airline will be organized twice a week — on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Passengers will travel on A-330 aircraft with spacious cabins and modern amenities. This will make long-distance travel easier and more enjoyable.
Pusan — a center of sea and economy
Pusan is the second largest city in South Korea and has the largest seaport in the country. It is famous for its beautiful beaches, historical monuments, modern shopping centers, wide highways, and tourist attractions. Pusan is also known for hosting major events such as the Pusan International Film Festival, sports competitions, and business forums.
Due to its strategic coastal location, Pusan plays a significant role in South Korea's foreign trade relations. It is important not only as a transport hub but also as an economic center. For local and foreign investors, Pusan is considered a promising destination.
Relations are entering a new stage
The new air route will not only boost tourism but also enhance cooperation in education, healthcare, trade, and culture. Student exchanges, business forums, and scientific conferences are expected to be organized between universities in Pusan and Tashkent. At the same time, diplomatic relations between the two countries are likely to strengthen.
A new door of opportunities has opened for tourists
The new route to Pusan provides tourists with the opportunity to closely experience South Korea's unique coastal nature, national cuisine, and cultural heritage. In turn, entrepreneurs from Uzbekistan will also have the chance to get acquainted with the industrial and logistics infrastructure in Pusan.
In conclusion, the establishment of a direct air connection on the Tashkent-Pusan route has opened a new chapter in the relations between the two countries. This is not only a convenient transport solution but also an important step towards diplomatic, economic, and interpersonal rapprochement. For everyone wishing to travel, Pusan has now become not just a distant destination but a city of new opportunities just a flight away.
