    Aviation developments in Central Asia: winter highlights

    Aviation developments in Central Asia: winter highlights

    During the winter navigation period from November 2023 to March 2024, Uzbekistan's Samarkand airport witnessed remarkable growth in passenger traffic, serving over 491,000 passengers, a 55% increase year-on-year, Centralasiaplusaero informed on LinkedIn. This surge was propelled by the arrival of seven new carriers, including three Uzbeki and four foreign airlines, along with increased flight frequencies from existing operators.

    In parallel, the MRO Central Asia 2024 conference held in Tashkent on March 26-27 showcased the region's burgeoning demand for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. Representatives from various sectors of the aviation industry convened to discuss opportunities and challenges in meeting the growing demand for MRO services in Central Asia.

    One notable development emerged from the conference: Kazakhstan's Air Astana Group reached an agreement with Pratt & Whitney for compensation and support related to issues with PW1100G engines on its Airbus A320/A321neo aircraft. This agreement underscores the importance of addressing technical challenges to ensure the reliability and safety of airline operations.

    Furthermore, Uzbekistan's aviation sector witnessed several other significant developments during the winter period. Start-up airline Fly Khiva announced plans to commence cargo flights from mid-April, leveraging Uzbekistan's strategic geographic location to facilitate cargo transportation between Europe and China.

    Meanwhile, Uzbekistan's low-cost carrier Humo Air, which temporarily suspended operations in mid-March, is actively seeking aircraft to resume its services. The airline aims to expand its fleet and double its operations in the coming years, reflecting its commitment to meeting the growing demand for affordable air travel in the region.

    Additionally, Uzbekistan Airways Technics announced plans to build two new widebody aircraft hangars, signaling the company's readiness to expand its MRO capabilities and accommodate a diverse range of aircraft types, including Boeing 787s and Airbus A330s.

    In neighboring Azerbaijan, Silk Way West Airlines continues to strengthen its fleet with the purchase of additional Boeing 777 freighters, highlighting the airline's commitment to modernizing its fleet and enhancing its cargo transportation capabilities.
