Termez Airport (TMJ/UZST) is southern Uzbekistan’s main air gateway, located about 8 km north of Termez city center near the Afghan border. Originally developed as a Soviet military airbase during the Soviet-Afghan War, it now handles domestic and limited international passenger flights. Its compact terminal and proximity to ancient Termez and the Amu Darya make it a convenient entry point for Surxondaryo Region.
💡 Local Tip
Keep small-denomination Uzbek som notes for taxi fares and snacks—card acceptance is still limited in and around Termez. Also, if you plan to visit nearby Buddhist sites or the Afghan border area, arrange permits and a local guide before you arrive, as access can be restricted.

Taxis are the main way to reach Termez city center; agree on the fare before departure or use a metered app if available. The drive takes about 10–15 minutes, and fares are usually low by international standards. If you arrive late, pre-arrange a hotel transfer because taxi availability can drop after dark.
