October 10, 2025, Samarkand. Air Marakanda organized an aviation event bringing together photographers, bloggers, and anyone interested in aviation.
Spotter participants had a unique opportunity to visit areas inaccessible to passengers. This is where the most dynamic shots are taken — preparing aircraft for departure, servicing aircraft between flights, and the coordinated work of specialists who ensure the safety and accuracy of each departure.
Airport spotting is not only about beautiful photos, but also an opportunity to see aviation from the inside. For young participants, this event was their first taste of a profession in which the sky becomes not just a dream, but a goal to strive for!
Holding such events has not only aesthetic but also educational value. Aircraft spotting helps to generate interest in aviation, increases the openness of the airport, and strengthens ties with the community of enthusiasts. For young participants, it is a chance to get a taste of the world of aviation and, perhaps, choose their future profession in this field.
