Airline overview

Founded in 1992, Uzbekistan Airways is headquartered in Uzbekistan and operates to 58+ destinations across 80+ countries.

Uzbekistan Airways operates independently of major global alliances, with select bilateral partnerships for codesharing.
The business class experience
Uzbekistan Airways Business Class features Lie-flat staggered (787) — the 787 introduced the carrier's first fully flat business seat. Seat width is 21 inches and fully extended bed length is 76 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Uzbekistan Airways's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.
In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback touchscreen IFE. Dining on Uzbekistan Airways: Uzbek and international cuisine, plov, samosa. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.
Lounges and ground experience
At the home hub: Uzbekistan Airways Lounge (TAS). At other airports worldwide: Contract lounges at select airports. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.
On the ground at departure, Uzbekistan Airways business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.
What travelers say
“Gateway to the Silk Road. The 787 fully-flat product is solid and was the carrier's first true lie-flat seat. Growing interest in Uzbekistan as a destination. Competitive pricing for Central Asia, and a financially healthy, expanding carrier.”
