Presently, Uzbekistan Airlines operates a non-stop flight between JFK and Kiev. It departs JFK, Terminal 4E on Fridays and Sundays at 6 pm, arriving in Kiev Borispol ten hours later at 10:45 am the next morning. It departs Kiev Borispol on Fridays and Sundays at 11:40 am and arrives 11 hours later (travel west to east generally takes longer) at JFK, Terminal 4E at 3:30 pm the same day.
The plane is a Boeing 767 and the entire cabin is non-smoking. I called and asked for reservations in June, 2001. I was quoted a fare of $781, taxes included. If I wanted to stay more than 30 days, the fare went up to $850. I was told Uz.Air has no American partner airlines.
Uzbekistan Air can be reached at 212-245-1005. The operators speak Russian as well as passable English.
