History

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Uzbek President Islam Karimov in 1992 ordered the construction of a state airline. Uzbekistan Airways was formed with the intention of rebuilding the country's airports and transport infrastructure. Also planned from the outset was a strong presence in the international flight industry. This was characterised by the airline's maiden flight being from Tashkent to London, rather than a small domestic route.

Domestic flights were launched using aircraft formally belonging to Aeroflot. When international routes became top priority, Airbus planes were leased, starting in 1993. The international fleet now uses a mixture of Boeing and Airbus airplanes.

Uzbekistan Airways serves almost 50 destinations worldwide and at home from Tashkent. The airline owns 11 airports, 5 of which have International status. Uzbekistan Airways is not part of any partnerships or alliances.

Uzbekistan Airways Technics - provides all types of technical services for aircraft IL-76, IL-62, AN-2, YAK-42 and aircraft engines Аи-25, ТА-6А, ТА-8. A-, B-, C-, D-, IL-Check of Boeing 767, Boeing 757, Airbus 310, Rj-85.

Destinations

Since its formation, Uzbekistan Airways has mainly aimed its passenger service at Western Europe and other international locations. Most flights to international locations operate from Tashkent, although regional international services do exist.
