stopping. It is obvious that Navoi Airport has a wide range of facilities to provide 
fast, high-quality technical and service services to all modern aircraft operating 
international flights. In 2009, modern transport aircraft leased by Korean Air from 
our national airline operated more than 330 international flights from the airport and 
transported about 8,500 tons of cargo. This made it possible to integrate Navoi 
Airport into the global logistics network. [7] 
The direct proximity of the Navoi Free Economic Zone to the E-40 highway 
allows connecting Europe and China by the shortest possible route, as well as by rail 
to Central Asia, the CIS, Southeast Asia, Provides access to the markets of the Near 
and Middle East and the Gulf states. Navoi is crossed by all major rail routes to the 
ports of southern Iran and Turkey, as well as to the ports of the Black and Baltic Seas 
to the west and north. The shortest railway route from China to Europe also passes 
through Navoi. The launch of the Tashguzar-Baysun-Kumkurgan railway will 
provide the shortest transit link to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

The development of the transport and logistics complex is closely linked with 
the plan to create an international logistics center on the basis of Navoi airport. The 
international intermodal logistics center established at Navoi Airport will allow to use 
the existing transport and transit potential of Uzbekistan, international transit
