Centrum Air Hyderabad Flights Start Sept. 28: What Changes?

Centrum Air has opened bookings for direct flights between Tashkent and Hyderabad, with twice-weekly Airbus A320neo service scheduled to start September 28, 2026. The airline’s September 7 announcement advertises fares from 2 million Uzbek soums per seat and a 5% fare discount when booking through its mobile app.

Hyderabad becomes Centrum Air’s second Indian destination after Delhi, giving South India travelers another option for reaching Uzbekistan without first routing through the Indian capital on this airline. As with other new airline routes, the booking decision depends on the complete itinerary and fare conditions, not just the advertised starting price.

Hyderabad Adds a Second Indian Gateway

The official Centrum Air route notice puts the operating start on September 28. Its immediate traveler consequence is that tickets are available through the airline’s website and mobile applications, while the flights themselves remain a future service as of September 9.

Breaking Travel News reported a Hyderabad launch event on September 9, attended by airline, diplomatic, tourism, and travel-industry representatives. That event introduced the service locally; it should not be confused with a completed inaugural passenger flight.

The report quotes the airline’s Indian sales representative describing seven weekly India flights after Hyderabad is added: five from Delhi and two from Hyderabad. The seven-flight figure therefore refers to the combined Indian network, not seven weekly departures from Hyderabad.

For travelers in Hyderabad and the wider Telangana market, the useful comparison is the new direct city pair against the connecting itineraries they would otherwise buy. Compare the actual departure and arrival dates, total travel time, and fare conditions rather than assuming that the new route will suit every trip length.

With only two weekly services announced, availability on the return date matters as much as the outbound. A suitable outbound flight does not establish that the airline also operates on the day you need to come home, especially when a work or family commitment fixes that date.

The Two-Million-Soum Figure Needs a Complete Quote

Centrum Air labels its starting price in Uzbek soums, not Indian rupees or U.S. dollars. The route notice describes a minimum price per seat, but does not define it as a universal return fare or publish a complete breakdown of taxes, optional services, and availability.

Use that amount as a prompt to search, not as the guaranteed cost of a round trip. Check the currency and total shown for both directions and every passenger before comparing it with another airline’s offer.

The advertised mobile-app discount is 5% on fares. That wording does not establish a 5% reduction on every part of the final transaction, so compare the app’s actual total with the website quote for the same flights and passenger details.

The route announcement also does not specify a closing date for that particular 5% offer. Avoid treating September 28, the scheduled flight launch, as an invented sale deadline or assuming that another promotion displayed elsewhere on the website has identical eligibility.

Centrum Air’s booking instructions ask customers to register before purchasing through the website. Its official passenger FAQ also says changes and cancellations must be handled through the original point of purchase, with the applicable conditions determined by the selected fare.

That makes the sales channel part of the decision. If an agency issues the ticket, keep its booking details and contact information; if you buy on the airline website, retain the account access and confirmation needed to manage the reservation.

Check Baggage Against Both the Fare and Travel Date

The airline’s general FAQ lists Base, Optimal, and Comfort fares. It describes different baggage and flexibility provisions, while expressly warning that allowances and refund or change conditions can vary by destination; the Hyderabad ticket conditions remain the final check for this route.

There is also a dated rule already published in that FAQ: from October 26, 2026, Base fare passengers are limited to one personal item weighing up to 3 kilograms and measuring no more than 30 by 40 by 20 centimeters, without an included cabin bag.

That is a separate airline fare rule, not a newly announced Hyderabad-only restriction. It matters here because a trip on the new route could begin before October 26 and return afterward, requiring travelers to inspect the allowance attached to each flight rather than assume both directions are identical.

Do not carry the FAQ’s general 8-kilogram cabin-bag description into a later Base booking without checking the dated exception. Likewise, do not assume the starting fare includes the 23-kilogram checked baggage described for other fare options.

For travelers who need checked luggage or the ability to change dates, compare the complete suitable fare with buying the cheapest ticket and adding services. The route announcement promises a choice of service options, not that the lowest displayed price includes every option a passenger may need.

Tashkent and Hyderabad Check-In Need Separate Plans

Centrum Air’s current FAQ says online check-in opens 24 hours before departure and is available only for flights departing Tashkent. It also lists airport check-in, so passengers should not assume that the same online process will be available for the Hyderabad departure.

The airline says schedule-change or cancellation notifications go to the email address supplied at booking. Check that the address is correct and accessible, particularly when someone else or an agency buys the ticket on your behalf.

Passengers needing a wheelchair are instructed to request assistance at least 24 hours before departure through the airline’s stated channels. Arrange that requirement ahead of time instead of assuming that the A320neo aircraft description resolves the assistance needed through the airport.

The announcement does not provide a flight-level timetable or establish a protected connection beyond Tashkent. Before adding a separate onward ticket, confirm the connection arrangements, baggage handling, and responsibility for a missed onward departure with the booking channel.

For a straightforward visit between the two cities, the main new choice is clear: a direct Centrum Air option is scheduled from September 28. For a more complicated trip, the twice-weekly pattern, ticket conditions, and departure-specific check-in rules deserve attention before other nonrefundable arrangements are made.
