How is Navoi positioning itself as a cargo hub in Central Asia?

In this interview with STAT Trade Times, Umidjon Ruziev of Navoi International Airport discusses the airport's strategy to develop its cargo operations and strengthen its role in connecting China, Central Asia and Europe.

He explains how Navoi aims to complement Tashkent rather than compete directly with it, while building stronger cargo connectivity with China, Turkey, Europe and the United Arab Emirates.

The conversation also explores the development of new Asia-Europe transit routes, the role of air, road and rail transport in cargo movement, and the infrastructure improvements needed to support growing transit volumes.
