Navoi Airport

Navoi Airport (NVI) opened in the 1960s and serves as a mid-sized regional airport in central Uzbekistan, featuring one main passenger terminal alongside a sizable cargo and maintenance complex. Known for its long runway and importance to freight operations, Navoi handles occasional international passenger flights while acting as a strategic cargo base for regional and international carriers. The airport is a short drive from Navoi city and is connected by road with taxi and shuttle options; onward coaches link to Samarkand and Bukhara for wider connections. Generally affordable for travelers compared with larger Uzbek airports, Navoi is more notable for cargo activity than as a major passenger hub.
