Uzbekistan Airlines

Uzbekistan Airlines is the only airline which perform transatlantic flights from Riga Airport.
The plane with the blue hood makes flights Tashkent - Riga - New York - Riga - Tashkent 3 times per week.
Basically it makes New York JFK airport just 10 hours away from Riga.
Not that far from the capital of the world, isn't? :)

Why Uzbekistan Airline and not other european airline companies? No is not so far New York ;)
Any idea how much the ticket costs for Riga-NYC?
Any idea where to look for those tickets? As I understand from the website - there is no online service and not all of the travel agency offer the purchase. How to get to NYC in 10 hours? :)
