Uzbekistan Airways will expand its aircraft fleet
In accordance with the development strategy and the program for the modernization and unification of the aircraft fleet, the National Airline "Uzbekistan Airways" continues to replenish its fleet with new modern airliners. The national carrier plans to receive two Airbus A320 Neo in December this year.
The newest A320 Neo aircraft in their segment have been ordered in a two-class layout for 150 seats & nbsp; (business class - 12, economy class - 138). They & nbsp; will be 20% more economical than their predecessors thanks to new, more efficient engines and modern developments in the fuselage design. Their flight range has been increased from 4.5 thousand to more than 6 thousand kilometers, which will make it possible to cover the entire Central European region with flights. & nbsp;
& nbsp; In the second half of 2019, the airline is expected to replenish its fleet with two new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. And with the receipt of the sixth Dreamliner in early 2020, the National Airline of Uzbekistan will become the leading operator of this type of aircraft in the CIS countries.
Note that the new NAC liners will be equipped with comfortable and wide armchairs with individual screens, & nbsp; intended for entertainment and a more pleasant pastime, & nbsp; communication systems & nbsp; and Wi-Fi. A new approach to aircraft design will provide maximum comfort for passengers in flight.
Today, the Uzbekistan Airways fleet consists of modern and comfortable aircraft Boeing-757/767, Boeing-787-8 Dreamliner, Airbus A320, as well as cargo aircraft Boeing-767 -300BCF ".
