Atlas, a flight API, has announced a direct distribution partnership with Centrum Air, one of Uzbekistan’s largest private airline companies. Through this partnership, Atlas will be able to provide its airline retailing and aviation infrastructure services to clients in Central Asia. With this new service, travel providers will have the opportunity to offer airline services to customers in a region with a rapidly growing commercial aviation market.

As international travel patterns continue to shift, Central Asia is gaining importance as a strategic aviation corridor. Located between Europe, the Middle East, South Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the region is seeing increasing demand for affordable international travel, new routes and alternative connecting options beyond traditional global aviation hubs.

However, many airlines in the region have faced challenges in reaching global travel sellers due to limited access to modern distribution systems. Through this partnership, Atlas-connected travel platforms will gain direct access to Centrum Air’s expanding network across Central Asia, the CIS, the Middle East, South Asia and Europe.

The agreement enables online travel agencies, travel management companies and travel technology providers connected with Atlas to sell Centrum Air’s growing range of flights through a single API integration, simplifying access to the airline’s inventory and expanding travel options for customers worldwide.

At the same time, Centrum Air will benefit from increased global visibility by connecting with Atlas’ international network of travel sellers and technology partners. The partnership is expected to strengthen the airline’s distribution capabilities while supporting its expansion into new international markets.

“For decades, global aviation has revolved around a handful of established hubs,” said Clive Ashmore Butler, Chief Operating Officer of Atlas. “What’s exciting today is that we’re seeing entirely new travel corridors emerge. Central Asia is becoming an increasingly important gateway for affordable international travel, connecting markets across Europe, the Middle East and Asia in ways that simply didn’t exist a few years ago. Our partnership with Centrum Air isn’t just about adding another airline to Atlas—it’s about giving travel sellers early access to one of the industry’s most exciting growth regions through modern retailing infrastructure.”

“Atlas recognizes the growing importance of Central Asia as a global travel corridor. This partnership helps make our network more accessible to travelers worldwide while providing travel sellers with modern tools to better serve their customers. We’re
excited to partner with Atlas as we continue expanding connectivity across the region,” said Mikhail Barishnikov, Head of E-commerce Department of Centrum Air.

Through this integration, Atlas-connected partners will gain access to real-time pricing, additional travel products and advanced servicing solutions. The partnership will enable travel sellers to create more personalised and flexible booking experiences while offering customers greater access to travel choices across one of the aviation industry’s fastest-growing markets.

The collaboration represents another step in Atlas’ mission to connect leading low-cost and value-focused airlines with global travel sellers through modern distribution technology. By providing seamless access to airlines shaping the future of international mobility, Atlas is helping transform how travellers discover, book and manage flights worldwide.
