Dec 08, 2021 (newstodate): airBaltic and Uzbekistan Airways have entered a new code-share agreement - airBaltic's 26th.
Under the agreement that took effect from November 22, 2021, passengers from the two airlines will benefit from one-ticket access to flights between Riga and Tashkent as well as onward flights on the routes served by the two carriers.
Uzbekistan Airways used Riga Airport as a transit hub on its flights between Tashkent and New York from October 31, 2004, operating Boeing 767-300ER aircraft on two weekly rotations, and since October 23, 2004, airBaltic and Uzbekistan Airways cooperated under a code-share agreement covering the flights between Tashkent and Riga.
From May 2015, the agreement was expanded to comprise also the flights by the Uzbek carrier between Riga and New York - but the cooperation stopped in March 2018 as Uzbekistan Airways introduced its Boeing 787 aircraft without needs for the intermediate stop at Riga Airport.
