Silk Avia

Silk Avia functions as a regional feeder airline based in Uzbekistan, designed to enhance domestic connectivity between the capital and provincial hubs. It occupies a specific position in the commercial aviation value chain as a low-cost regional operator, bridging the gap between international long-haul arrivals and smaller domestic airports that cannot support narrow-body jet operations. The carrier’s fleet is built around the ATR 72-600 turboprop aircraft. Its operations are closely integrated with the national aviation infrastructure of Uzbekistan, acting as a subsidiary or partner to the state-owned Uzbekistan Airways (O‘zbekiston Havo Yo‘llari). The airline serves domestic routes connecting Tashkent with cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara, and Urgench, facilitating both tourism and internal business travel. Prospective partners or suppliers should verify the current ownership structure and its regulatory standing under the Civil Aviation Authority of Uzbekistan. As a relatively new entrant in the Central Asian market, buyers should confirm the airline's specific maintenance schedules, insurance coverage for the ATR fleet, and its formal interline agreements with international carriers serving the region.
