Two flights from Uzbekistan Airways and Air Samarkand were diverted to alternate airfields due to fog in Termez.

Today, two passenger flights heading to Termez Airport (TMJ) were compelled to land at alternate airfields due to heavy fog.
Из-за тумана в Термезе два рейса Uzbekistan Airways и Air Samarkand приземлились на запасных аэродромах.

The second flight, 9S2406 Jeddah (JED) – Termez (TMJ), operated by Air Samarkand on an Airbus A321-251NEO (UK32121), was also compelled to change its route due to adverse weather conditions.
