OREANDA-NEWS The Uzbek airline Air Samarkand has reduced or forced to resign and left previously hired employees from Russia without salaries.
The dismissed staff told the publication that initially the foreign carrier was looking for employees from Russia. They were promised business trips to Turkey and Southeast Asia, high salaries and good working conditions. In May 2023, most of them left for Uzbekistan, where they stayed in a hotel for several months, because Air Samarkand could not start flying due to the lack of necessary certificates. The first flight took place only in December 2023.
Russians also complained that their salaries were delayed during downtime, and the airline's management promised to fix the situation as soon as regular flights start. According to the source, in 2024, Air Samarkand aircraft began to fly actively, but employees from Russia were still not paid salaries.
Later, the company began to make cuts: the management decided to say goodbye to 45 Russians without paying them their salaries for four months. Another 30 compatriots wrote applications of their own volition, also without receiving the salaries due in two months.
According to the newspaper, the former pilots and flight attendants appealed to the local labor inspectorate and the Russian embassy.
Reports that Russians began to complain about working conditions at Air Samarkand appeared in February 2024. At first, their salaries were systematically delayed, and then payments stopped altogether.
