Uzbekistan Airways received another Airbus A320neo

On December 29, 2023, Uzbekistan Airways welcomed the fifth Airbus A320neо aircraft this year.

The airline’s flight and technical personnel, who arrived in France to receive the new airliner, carried out all the necessary verification tests at the Airbus concern’s factory airfield in Toulouse. The aircraft with registration number UK32027, painted in the airline’s signature livery, headed for Tashkent at 08-00 local time and 6 hours 40 minutes later flight landed in the capital of Uzbekistan.

The aircraft was purchased from BOC Aviation Limited on a long-term lease basis. Thus, the plan to deliver five Airbus aircraft this year has been successfully implemented.

It is noteworthy that the airliner arrived at the disposal of Uzbekistan Airways on the eve of New Year 2024. At the Tashkent airport, the aircraft was solemnly greeted not only by the airline’s management team, employees and their children, but also, according to the glorious New Year tradition, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden came to greet everyone.

The aircraft was delivered by experienced Uzbekistan Airways instructor pilots - Alexander Kharlap and Jamshid Adylov.

“Despite the growing competition in the field of passenger air transportation in our country, Uzbekistan Airways, without exaggeration, remains a leader in the industry. The entire airline staff - pilots, flight attendants, aircraft technicians, and ground service specialists - made every effort to finish the year with good results. Increasing passenger traffic, replenishing the aircraft fleet, opening new destinations, solving daily problems of quality flight service, despite the challenges of nature, when weather conditions do not allow the flight to be carried out exactly on schedule - all these tasks were successfully solved and Uzbekistan Airways enters the new year 2024 with new plans and commitments. But one thing remains unchanged - the safety and comfort of passengers. Based on these principles, our airline will continue to work to increase all indicators, improve the quality of service and create more favorable conditions for our passengers,” Shukhrat Khudaykulov, CEO of Uzbekistan Airways JSC noted.
