Starting November 29, 2026, regular flights will begin operating between Nukus and Kazakhstan's Atyrau. Flights along the Nukus – Atyrau – Nukus route are scheduled once a week, on Sundays. The new route will expand air connectivity between Uzbekistan and the western regions of Kazakhstan, providing passengers with an additional opportunity to travel between the two countries without layovers.

Atyrau is located in western Kazakhstan, on the banks of the Ural River. The city is situated in a region traditionally considered a geographical meeting point of Europe and Asia. The launch of direct flights should simplify travel between the two cities and create additional opportunities for business and tourist contacts.
