Fog in Uzbekistan: How Weather Conditions Affect Flights

Winter in Uzbekistan is full of surprises, especially when it comes to weather. From December to March, various regions of the country experience dense fog and deteriorating meteorological conditions. These natural phenomena can significantly impact flight schedules and passenger comfort.

Why Don’t Planes Fly in Fog?

Fog drastically reduces visibility, making takeoffs and landings unsafe. To ensure your safety, Uzbekistan Airways may delay, reschedule, or, in some cases, cancel flights. Diversions to alternate airports may also occur if weather conditions at the destination worsen.

How to Prepare for Winter Travel?

To make your journey as comfortable as possible, even in challenging conditions, we’ve prepared some tips:

• Book tickets with connecting flights on the same booking. This provides protection and ensures your tickets remain valid in case of delays.

• Allow extra time between connections. A buffer will help you avoid stress and rushing.

• Pack snacks, water, and entertainment. These will make waiting more pleasant, especially if you’re traveling with children.

Safety is Uzbekistan Airways’ Priority

We understand that delays or cancellations can be inconvenient, and we sincerely apologize to passengers and their loved ones. However, your safety remains our top priority. As soon as weather conditions improve, all flights will be operated according to schedule.
