CENTRAL ASIA
Air Cargo Summit #2
The largest event for air cargo community in Central Asia
Central Asia & Eurasia
September 23–24, 2025, Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Central Asia Market Opens Up
New Opportunities
The air cargo market is undergoing significant transformations due to geopolitical unrest, leading to the pursuit of the most efficient routes between key regions. Major cargo flows are shifting their focus on the most efficient routes between Southeast China and Europe, Europe and Asia, and the United States and the rest of the world. This shift has resulted in a new role for Central Asian routes, particularly between Europe and Asia. Airports such as Tashkent, Navoi, Bishkek, Astana, and Almaty are poised to play a crucial role in the current environment.

The positive developments in both political, economic, and air transport sectors in Central Asian countries, particularly in Uzbekistan, have created new and unmatched opportunities for international air cargo carriers. Central Asia Air Cargo Summit serves as a platform for facilitating networking among all stakeholders interested in the development of the air cargo market in this region. The summit will provide a unique opportunity for industry professionals to engage in discussions, share knowledge, and identify new business opportunities in the region.
