Uzbekiston Havo Yollari to receive third Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner in May

Taking into account this additional aircraft, the national air carrier of Uzbekistan will increase number of such airplanes in its fleet to six by 2020.

The third Dreamliner, which is expected to be delivered in mid-May of this year, differs from the previous two Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners operated by Uzbekistan Havo Yollari with an increased number of seats for passengers - the total number of seats is 270 (business class 24, economy class 246), and a special compartment for the rest of the crew.

On this liner, as well as on other Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, GEnx-1B GE Aviation engines are installed, providing better fuel efficiency, low noise level and minimum level of CO2 emission into the atmosphere.

It should be noted that Uzbekistan Havo Yollari became the first customer of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in Central Asia. The airline began commercial operation of Dreamliner in 2016. On 27 July 2017, the national air carrier of Uzbekistan performed the first non-stop flight from Tashkent to New York with Drealiner.
