Tashkent-Khumo International Airport (IATA: TVT, ICAO: UZTP), also known as Tashkent Vostochny or Tashkent East, is a secondary airport serving Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Located roughly 10 km east of the city center, it mainly supports cargo, general aviation, and occasional charter or regional flights. It complements the larger Tashkent International Airport (TAS) and offers a quieter alternative for certain operations.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to double-check their arrival airport code: many flights to 'Tashkent' use TAS, not TVT, and the two are on opposite sides of the city. If you do land at TVT, it's often faster for customs and baggage, but bring snacks and a charged phone since amenities are minimal.
🚖 Getting There
The most reliable way to reach Tashkent-Khumo is by taxi or ride-hailing app (Yandex Go works well in Tashkent); agree on a price or use the app to avoid haggling. The drive to the city center takes about 20–30 minutes outside rush hour, but allow more time during morning and evening peaks. There is no dedicated rail link, and public buses/marshrutkas are infrequent, so pre-book your ride if arriving late.
