Boeing delivers Dreamliner to Uzbekistan Airways loaded with relief supplies
UZBEKISTAN Airways, the flag carrier of the Republic of Uzbekistan, has taken delivery of its first Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. The aircraft is to enter service this month.
"This delivery to Uzbekistan Airways is a remarkable moment in our partnership that has a great value for Boeing," said Boeing's vice president Marty Bentrott.
"Today, we are proud not only to have Uzbekistan join our growing base of 787 customers in the region, but also at the airline's continued confidence in Boeing's technology and airplanes over the years."
The first B787 delivery flight to Tashkent was carrying humanitarian aid for patients in hospitals, mother-child clinics, rehabilitation centres and orphanages. As part of its charitable activity in Uzbekistan, Boeing and Uzbekistan Airlines have partnered with AmeriCares, which supports a broad range of health care institutions throughout the country.
The airline's fleet consists of 34 aircraft, including nine Boeing 767 and six Boeing 757 airplanes. From its hub at Tashkent International Airport, the carrier flies to 40 cities around the world.
