2. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the Chinese Embassy in Uzbekistan has been actively working in various ways to provide assistance to Chinese citizens in Uzbekistan who are indeed in difficulties. As a diplomatic agency stationed abroad, the embassy does not interfere with the operation of commercial charter flights, and has no right to "approve" nor organize third-country airline flights to carry passengers in Ukraine to a third country. The embassy also did not authorize any private organization to organize chartered ticket sales in Uzbekistan and did not accept relevant filings. The organizer of a commercial flight must apply to the relevant civil aviation authority in strict accordance with the regulations.
3. There are no direct domestic flights in Uzbekistan and all need to transit to a third country.
