Uzbekistan’s Centrum Air launched direct scheduled flights between Tashkent and Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA) yesterday (28), strengthening air connectivity between Sri Lanka and Central Asia. The service will operate twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, until the end of March 2027. Royal Spence Aviation, a partner company of Aitken Spence Travels, serves as the airline’s General Sales Agent and Airport Supervision Agent in Sri Lanka. The new route is expected to create opportunities for tourism, trade and business while promoting attractions in the country’s Southern and Eastern regions. It will also provide Sri Lankan travellers with easier access to Uzbekistan’s historic Silk Road cities, including Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. Pix by Kithsiri De Mel
