Are Uzbekistan Airways / Centrum Air reliable for flights to India with a layover in Tashkent — any delays, and can you leave the airport during the stopover?

From messages by 3 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 54 days ago

TL;DR

Uzbekistan Airways is the country's flagship carrier (like Aeroflot), and travelers report no major delay issues, with carry-on rarely weighed. A ~17-hour layover in Tashkent allows leaving the airport to explore the city without checking baggage. As of late August 2026, no traveler feedback yet on Centrum Air specifically.

Another traveler shared their experience: no issues noticed, and carry-on luggage was never weighed. Uzbekistan Airways is the country's flagship carrier, comparable in status to Aeroflot in Russia, suggesting a reliable service.
