Flights to Bukhara
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Bukhara is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bukhara International Airport (BHK), 4 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Navoi International Airport (NVI, 74 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bukhara International Airport | BHK | 4 km (2 mi) | 9,843 ft | 751 ft |
| Navoi International Airport (regional) | NVI | 74 km (46 mi) | 13,123 ft | 1,140 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,843 ft, BHK handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 751 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
