Navoi International Airport — Navoi, Uzbekistan

NVI is Navoi International Airport, located in Navoi, Uzbekistan, a city in the country's central region known for mining and chemical industries. Despite serving a relatively modest population, NVI has developed into a significant cargo hub, historically boosted by a partnership with Korean Air that established Navoi as a logistics transit point between Asia and Europe. The airport's long runway and cargo infrastructure exceed what would typically be expected for a city of Navoi's size, a direct result of deliberate government investment in positioning it as an air freight gateway. Passenger service at NVI includes domestic routes and limited international connections, but its primary claim to prominence remains its role in Central Asian air cargo logistics.
