In a strategic move to enhance its fleet and expand its reach, Uzbekistan Airways has acquired two wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft through a wet lease arrangement. This marks the airline’s continued commitment to providing its passengers with a comfortable and reliable travel experience. The Airbus A330 is renowned for its efficiency and spacious cabin, making it an ideal choice for long-haul journeys. These aircraft will play a crucial role in Uzbekistan Airways’ plans to increase the frequency of existing routes and venture into new destinations. The first Airbus A330, designated HY281/282, is geared up for its maiden flight on May 20th, 2024, connecting Tashkent to Istanbul.
