The history of Tashkent Airport dates back to the early 20th century. On May 12, 1924, the first passenger flight was completed on a Junkers R-13 aircraft along the Tashkent–Pishpek–Almaty route.{{cite news |url=https://kun.uz/kr/18739340 |title=The ancient air terminal of Central Asia – History of Tashkent airport |date=9 March 2024}}
On August 8, 1930, the first airlift connected Moscow with Tashkent. The first Moscow-Tashkent-Moscow flight was operated on a K-4 aircraft.[https://tashtrans.uz/2017/05/23/istoriya-razvitiya-grazhdanskoj-aviacii-v-uzbekistane/ История развития гражданской авиации в Узбекистане]
During the Soviet era, the airport evolved into a major transport hub. {{citation needed|date=December 2024}}
In 1957, the Tu-104 jet aircraft began operating on the Moscow-Tashkent-Moscow route. This was preceded by a radical upgrade of the radar and communication services. New landing systems, RSP-4, were introduced in Tashkent. Then, the Romashka radar system was deployed.
In 1958, Tashkent Airport was granted the status of an international airport of Class I.
In 1967, the Yak-40 and Tu-134 aircraft were introduced. The capital of Uzbekistan was connected by direct air links with Leningrad, Novosibirsk, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Simferopol, cities of the Baltic states, the Caucasus, and the Far East.
On September 20, 1972,[https://ria.ru/20131231/987461353.html Сверхзвуковой авиалайнер Ту-144: летно-технические характеристики] the supersonic Tu-144 aircraft made its first flight on the Moscow-Tashkent-Moscow route.[https://fishki.net/2178928-31-dekabrja-1968-goda-sovershil-pervyj-v-mire-polet-sverhzvukovoj-passazhirskij-samolet-tu-144.html 31 декабря 1968 года совершил первый в мире полет сверхзвуковой пассажирский самолет Ту-144] The cruising speed of the airliner reached {{Convert|2500|km/h||abbr=on}}, and it covered the distance from Moscow to Tashkent in 1 hour and 50 minutes.
