The Committee on Religious Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan

Due to the escalation of the situation in the Middle East region and the temporary restrictions imposed on the use of airspace, a number of scheduled flights have been cancelled.

In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan has advised citizens to refrain from traveling to countries within the affected region, while urging compatriots currently present there to exercise increased caution.

Taking into account the current circumstances and in order to ensure the safety of citizens, the Umrah pilgrimage trips organized by the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan in cooperation with tour operators are temporarily postponed.

In particular, the next Umrah pilgrims’ flight on the Tashkent–Jeddah route, scheduled for March 2, 2026 by the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan, has been postponed for an indefinite period.

Additional information regarding the resumption of air services will be provided through official sources.

We kindly request our citizens to treat this situation with understanding and to rely solely on official information.
