BAKU, Azerbaijan, Jan.5
By Natavan Rzayeva - Trend:
Regular flights of Uzbekistan Airways scheduled for January 5, 2022 on the return flight Urgech (Uzbekistan) to Aktau (Kazakhstan) have been canceled due to the closure of the international airport Aktau,Trend reports referring to the press-service of the company.
According to the company, the days when the flights will be resumed on this route will be announced later.
Passengers who bought tickets for flights on January 5 will be able to receive a refund of the full ticket price or free re-booking for any date after the resumption of flights.
The decision to cancel the flight was made due to the current situation in Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan's government announced late Jan. 4 that it was restoring some price caps on liquefied petroleum gas, after the rare protests reached Almaty following a sharp rise in the price of the fuel at the start of the year.
Many Kazakhs have converted their cars to run on LPG, which is far cheaper than gasoline as a vehicle fuel in Kazakhstan because of price caps. But the government argued that the low price was unsustainable and lifted the caps on Jan. 1.
After the price of the fuel spiked, big demonstrations erupted on Jan. 2 in certain parts of the country. Public protests are illegal in the country unless their organizers file a notice in advance.
