Air Samarkand has announced a new service to Phú Quốc, the largest island in Vietnam, in partnership with the specialist south-east Asian tour operator Crystal Bay Tourism.
The 7 hour 05 minute service will depart from Tashkent International Airport every Friday at 11:55pm, starting on 1st November, and operated by an Air Samarkand A330-300 that offers 36 comfort class seats and 277 in economy. The return flight will depart from Phú Quốc, a popular destination for beach holidays, at 11:00am and arrive back in Tashkent at 4:00pm. All times are local.
This expands on a previous arrangement with the Vietnamese-headquartered package holiday specialist, which saw services connect Samarkand with the coastal resort of Nha Trang in Vietnam during the aviation industry’s summer season (between April-September).
Air Samarkand has also announced that its once-weekly service from Tashkent to Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has now switched from the ‘Garden City’ airport in Al Ain, to the city’s main Zayed International Airport (AUH). Flights on the three hour and 40-minute route use an Air Samarkand Airbus A321 aircraft, which provides 12 business and 182 economy class seats.
