Uzbekistan airline History.
Islom Karimov Uzbekistan President in 1992 authorised the creation of a state airline. Uzbekistan Airways was formed with the intention of modernising and developing the country's airports and transport infrastructure. Intended goals also included a strong presence in the international flight industry. Domestic flights were launched using aircraft formerly belonging to Aeroflot. This was characterised by the airline's maiden flight being from Tashkent to London, rather than a small domestic route.When international routes became top priority, Airbus planes were leased, starting in 1993. The international fleet now uses a mixture of Boeing and Airbus airplanes. Uzbekistan Airways serves almost 50 destinations worldwide and at home from Tashkent International Airport. The airline owns 11 airports, 5 of which have International status.[citation needed] Uzbekistan Airways is not part of any partnerships or alliances, but is in talks of joining the SkyTeam Alliance.
