Uzbekistan Airways ( Uzbek Oʻzbekiston havo yoʻllari ) is the state-owned airline of Uzbekistan , based in Tashkent and based at Tashkent Airport .
history
The foundation was started shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union . On January 28, 1992, approval was finally granted and the airline was able to function as an international airline. The largest city in the country and the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent , were chosen as the seat .
Uzbekistan Airways' first scheduled flight connection ran from Tashkent to London in the United Kingdom . Further regular flights have started this year on routes to Karachi , New Delhi , Kuala Lumpur , Tel Aviv and Beijing .
In 1993, the company received its first brand-new aircraft, an Airbus A310-300 , which was used on the newly established connections from Tashkent to Frankfurt am Main and Bangkok . Uzbekistan Airways was the first airline in the Commonwealth of Independent States to receive the European quality certificate in 1993. Another brand-new A310-300 followed in 1994, adding new scheduled flights to Athens , Manchester and Seoul in the flight schedule. In 1995, the route network was expanded to include more scheduled flights to Bahrain and New York . In 1996, the first Boeing 767-300ER also joined the fleet.
In 1997 Uzbekistan Airways received the diploma and qualification certificate JAR-145 in international flight safety, which enables the company to carry out C-checks .
In 1998, the Uzbekistan Airways fleet was expanded to include a third A310-300, which enabled further scheduled flights to Paris and Dakar to be opened. In the following years, the route network was again expanded significantly. In 1999, Kiev and Riyadh were included in the flight plan, as were the first charter flights to Japan . In 2000 the route network was expanded to include Rome and Birmingham , and in 2001 the first scheduled flight to Osaka, Japan, was set up.
At the same time, a separate maintenance area has been set up over the years in cooperation with Lufthansa Technik , which has functioned as "Uzbekistan Airways Technics" since 2002. The first work included a C-check on a Boeing 757 .
The airline was also on a course of expansion. In 2003 another Boeing 767-300ER was purchased and international flight connections to Hanoi started. In the same year, Tashkent's home airport received the “Best Airport of CIS Countries 2003” award. In 2004 another 767-300ER and three 757-200s were added to the fleet . Flight connections to Riga , Shanghai and Astana (Nur-Sultan since 2019) have been started.
In 2005, Uzbekistan Airways received the “Safety Foundation Diploma” and the “Recognition Award” from Boeing for ten years of safe and reliable flying of aircraft from Boeing. 16 Boeing 767-300, Boeing 757-200, Airbus A310 and Avro RJ85 machines were now in use. In 2006 a scheduled flight to Ürümqi was also set up.
In 2008, Uzbekistan Airways announced that it would join the SkyTeam airline alliance . The project was originally supposed to be completed in 2009, but has been postponed and is currently still vacant.
On August 31, 2016, the first of two Boeing 787-8s on order was delivered to Uzbekistan Airways.
