London Gatwick expands Asia links with Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan flights
London Gatwick will be offering passengers more than 90 weekly flights to Asia and the Middle East this summer, following the launch of new central Asia routes.
The airport has welcomed new carriers Azerbaijan Airlines, Turkmenistan Airlines and Uzbekistan Airways in recent weeks with Baku, Ashgabat and Tashkent flights.
They have respectively started services with three flights per week to Baku last month, twice-weekly flights to Ashgabat and a weekly Tashkent flight, which started last weekend
The new routes mean London Gatwick now serves 12 destinations across Asia and the Middle East, including markets in China, India, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.
More new services to Beijing (Air China), Guangzhou (China Southern) and Singapore (Singapore Airlines) start this summer.
Stephanie Wear, VP Aviation Development, London Gatwick said: “We are delighted to welcome three new flag carriers to London Gatwick, providing excellent connectivity to previously underserved markets in Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.”
“These new routes provide passengers with excellent onward connectivity across Asia.”
London Gatwick has ongoing plans to bring the airport’s Northern Runway into regular use and is currently undergoing examination by the Planning Inspectorate.
