A Historic Event in the Civil Aviation of the Republic of Uzbekistan: A New Stage in Uzbekistan Airways Technics

On May 8, 2026, Uzbekistan Airways Technics successfully performed complex On-Wing engine testing on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, under the supervision of General Electric (GE) representatives. This marks a new stage in the enterprise’s technical evolution.

Preparation & Training
- Specialists underwent intensive training in Doha.
- Earned international certifications.
- Mastered advanced procedures like Engine Split and mating/unmating GEnx-1B engine components.

Strategic Partnership
The project, launched in 2023, strengthened collaboration between Uzbekistan Airways and GE Aviation, optimizing aircraft maintenance turnaround times and logistics.

Regional Impact
- Uzbekistan Airways Technics now offers advanced MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul) services across Central Asia.
- Uzbekistan Airways remains the only CIS airline operating regular transatlantic flights to New York and the only carrier in the region flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Logistics Breakthrough
Previously, engine repairs abroad took 3–6 months with heavy-lift cargo aircraft. Now, thanks to new technology, engines can be transported in disassembled form on standard cargo planes, drastically reducing time and complexity.

Future Outlook
The Training Center continues to educate new generations of aviation professionals in line with European EASA standards, ensuring long-term sustainability and innovation.

This event positions Uzbekistan Airways Technics as a regional leader in aviation technology and a strong international partner.
