As the national flag carrier of Uzbekistan, Uzbekistan Airways was established in 1992 and has since grown into one of Central Asia's most prominent and rapidly expanding airlines. Operating a modern fleet of 46 aircraft, including Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, Boeing 767s, Airbus A320neos, and Airbus A321neos, the airline connects passengers to destinations across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. Having carried over 6 million passengers in 2024, a 20% increase year on year, with a load factor of 83%, Uzbekistan Airways is one of the fastest-growing carriers in the region. The airline expects to receive 4 additional aircraft in 2026, bringing its total fleet above 50 for the first time, with the chairman anticipating the fleet will double in size by 2030. Uzbekistan has seen a 73% increase in tourist arrivals compared to 2019, making connectivity to this rising destination more valuable than ever.
