      Uzbekistan Airlines currenly uses HY3237 (5:40 AM - 12:50 P.M (Based on rough departure time using FR24, no official info available as far as I am aware!) for their flights from TAS-HRI and HY3238 (1:15 PM - 7:20 P.M) for their flights from HRI-TAS, A32N with registration UK32023.

      Yep, Arkia was deploying their B772 for the past few weeks but will be reverting back to their regularly scheduled A332 from JAN 8 onwards, and seems like flights are switched from every Tuesday to every Thursday. Will last uptil the end of January.
      Good news! Thanks, HRI departure is going to be 2:15PM according to FR24 and Flightaware. Can't see Mattala Flights on Uzbekistan Airways Website. Could these be charter flights?

        Seems planned Azur Air flights between OVB and HRI are cancelled for 26-Dec-25 and 23-Feb-26. Next flight scheduled for 07-Mar-26 according OVB airport website.

        Noticed Arkia is deploying B772 between TLV and CMB recently. Is it due to increased pax demand?

        Air China is downgrading the capacity of CTU-CMB flights by switching from A32N to A319 but flying Daily flights.

        Hi Team,

        Just FYI - Below Webpages have been updated on our website for month - January 2026 :

          4R-ALS is not flying since 28-Dec-25. Any idea why?

          When ABL and ANE are expected to return to revenue service?

            As per information from Aviation Voice, Uzbekistan Airlines have begun services from TAS to HRI using A32Q/A32N aircraft, service will operate weekly on every Wednesday until March 2026. SkyUP airlines will be operating from RMO-HRI via Sharjah, seems like they are chartered by a Moldovan Airline known as Vision Air. Next flight due on Jan 6

            Thanks

                Hi Banu , Merry Christmas! (even if you don't celebrate)

                Flights are not open for sales to LHE, will be opening soon. Flights are about to start from                 20JAN twice a week, D2 D6,given timings are correct. Kochi is listed for a operational reason, no any plans on COK in near future. Yes, KUL will be reduced to thrice weekly. But DEL and AMD are in the pipe.

                  Hi Haleef & the team, Any chance VP-CRP will join SriLankan Airlines? planespotters.net and airfleets are still listing VP-CRP due for SriLankan.
