TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, September 17. A sharp increase in demand from local airports has led to a significant increase in rail transport of aviation kerosene to Uzbekistan.
The data obtained by Trend from the Argus analytics company shows that most of the fuel was supplied from Russia to Tashkent International Airport, while deliveries from Belarus and Turkmenistan declined in the first half of the year.
By mid-July, traders reported substantial aviation fuel stocks near Tashkent International Airport, and companies were exploring deliveries to other Uzbek airports.
Strong domestic demand also supported higher diesel imports in the first half of 2025, while gasoline shipments fell due to increased production at local refineries.
This year, large rail consignments of fuel from Russia and Kazakhstan have been delivered to stations in Tashkent and the Tashkent region, including Sergeli, Tukimachi, Chukursay, Bozsu, Akhangaran, and Chinaz.
Turkmen fuel products are mainly shipped by rail from the Kenar oil depot (Turkmenbashi refinery) to stations near Bukhara, Samarkand, and Tashkent.
