Why Tashkent Is Emerging as the Next Uncongested Air Cargo Hub on the Modern Silk Road

Uzbekistan’s air cargo sector is expanding rapidly, reaching approximately 98,137 tons in 2025 (+12% YoY), with Tashkent International Airport as the primary gateway. While infrastructure growth has strengthened the airport’s capacity, the real advantage lies in how logistics providers are leveraging this momentum.

CargoPoint plays a central role in this development as one of the largest contributing cargo agents to Turkish Airlines (TK) in the region. With a strong operational presence across Tashkent, Dubai, Singapore, and Almaty, the company connects key trade corridors through a seamless network.

At the core of this strategy is CargoPoint’s Truck + Air solution, designed to bypass congestion at traditional hubs like Dubai and Istanbul. Cargo is consolidated in China, moved by road into Central Asia, and flown via Tashkent (TAS), Almaty (ALA), and Astana (NQZ) to Europe and beyond. This model combines the speed of air freight with the cost efficiency of road transport, offering a reliable middle ground for time-sensitive and high-value shipments.

Unlike saturated global hubs, Tashkent and its regional counterparts operate with lower volumes, around 200–250 tons per day, ensuring faster handling, minimal delays, and more predictable transit times. This creates a significant operational advantage for freight forwarders seeking stability in volatile supply chains.

Backed by modernized infrastructure, growing airline connectivity, and CargoPoint’s established cross-border capabilities, Central Asia is no longer a transit alternative—it is becoming a strategic logistics corridor. Through its regional footprint and multimodal expertise, CargoPoint is actively shaping this shift, delivering scalable, efficient, and resilient supply chain solutions across the Modern Silk Road.
