Samarkand Airways (Uzbek: Samarqand Havo Yo’llari, Самарканд Хаво Йуллари) was an airline based in Uzbekistan that performed passenger and cargo charter flights. Established in 2005 out a joint American-Uzbekistani venture based out of Kentucky,[1] the parent company, Universal Mobility Solutions, provided the aircraft for the fleet.[2] The airline intended to establish a regular scheduled cargo route out of Tashkent[3] to Dushanbe in 2008[4] using Ilyushin Il-76 and Antonov An-12 aircraft, but such a route was not established.[5] Passenger charters were carried out on Tupolev Tu-154, Yakolev Yak-40 and Avro RJ-85 aircraft, while chartered cargo flights used an Antonov An-26.[6]

While the airline still technically exists, its website is gone and it is not in operation.[7]
