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.
