History

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, controversial Uzbekistan 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 craft formally belonging to Aeroflot. When international routes became top priority, Airbus planes were leased, starting in 1993. Today, like virtually every other international airline, the international fleet uses a mixture of Boeing and Airbus airplanes; see below.

Today, Uzbekistan Airways serves dozens of locations worldwide and at home from its home in Tashkent.
