Why Chinese exporters choose Uzbekistan Airways Cargo for Central Asia and Europe-bound cargo.
For Chinese manufacturers, traders and e-commerce businesses, Uzbekistan Airways Cargo offers a strategically positioned air freight solution with four distinct advantages.
Central Asia's largest airline with a strategic transcontinental hub. Uzbekistan Airways is the largest airline in Central Asia and operates Tashkent International Airport as a natural crossroads between Asia and Europe. The airline's extensive network spans over 20 countries, with up to 18 charter cargo flights per week to Europe, China, South Korea and Turkey. For Chinese exporters targeting Central Asian markets — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan — or using Tashkent as a transshipment point for onward European distribution, Uzbekistan Airways offers a single-carrier solution with deep regional expertise and a strategic geographic position that few competitors can match.
Dedicated freighter fleet with 53-tonne payload capacity. Uzbekistan Airways Cargo operates two Boeing 767-300BCF freighters, each offering 53 tonnes of payload capacity and 380 m³ of cargo volume. These aircraft are Stage 4 noise certified, enabling night operations at airports with noise restrictions such as London Heathrow and Frankfurt. The B767-300BCF fleet is the primary freighter workhorse for the airline's China routes, with regular services to Shanghai and Urumqi, and plans to expand to Guangzhou. The airline's first B767-300BCF freighter performed its inaugural flight on the Urumqi–Tashkent route in December 2014, carrying 48 tonnes of cargo — demonstrating the airline's long-standing experience on China–Central Asia cargo lanes.
Extensive belly-hold capacity on modern passenger fleet. Beyond dedicated freighters, Uzbekistan Airways offers substantial belly-hold cargo capacity on its modern passenger fleet. The airline's seven Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners each provide 17,000 kg of belly cargo capacity with 50 m³ of volume, and are deployed on key China routes including Tashkent–Beijing (4× weekly), Tashkent–Guangzhou (weekly from May 2026), and Tashkent–Hangzhou (2× weekly). The airline's six Boeing 767-300ERs add another 12,000 kg and 40 m³ per flight. This combination of dedicated freighter and belly-hold capacity gives Chinese shippers flexible options for both large-volume and time-sensitive shipments.
Comprehensive special cargo capabilities and Navoi multimodal hub. Uzbekistan Airways Cargo handles a full range of cargo types including general cargo, perishables, dangerous goods, live animals and oversized shipments. The airline's Navoi hub serves as an International Intermodal Logistics Centre, one of the largest and most high-tech air cargo complexes in Central Asia, connecting Uzbekistan with major logistics centres across Eurasia. The airline also participates in a multimodal China–EU cargo corridor via Tashkent, where goods from Chinese cities are first delivered by road to Tashkent, processed, and then sent by air to Liège, Belgium. This multimodal capability offers Chinese exporters an integrated solution for reaching European markets.
Goodhope Freight consolidates and negotiates on the China side, so exporters benefit from consolidated rates, predictable departures and local Chinese-language support. We work with Uzbekistan Airways Cargo to confirm space on the best available routing for your Central Asia and Europe-bound shipments.
How to book Uzbekistan Airways Cargo space from mainland China through Goodhope Freight.
How Uzbekistan Airways Cargo's hubs and specialised services create value for freight from China.
Uzbekistan Airways Cargo is built around a dual-hub strategy: Tashkent International Airport (TAS) as the primary hub and corporate headquarters, and Navoi International Airport (NVI) as the dedicated cargo hub and International Intermodal Logistics Centre. Tashkent, located at the crossroads of routes linking Europe with Southeast Asia, serves as the airline's strategic transcontinental bridge. Navoi, established as one of the largest and most high-tech air cargo complexes in the region, connects Uzbekistan with major logistics centres across Eurasia including Ostrava, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Mumbai.
Dedicated freighter fleet with modern capabilities. Uzbekistan Airways Cargo operates two Boeing 767-300BCF freighters, each with 53 tonnes of payload and 380 m³ of volume. These aircraft are certified to Stage 4 noise level, enabling night operations at airports with noise restrictions such as London Heathrow and Frankfurt. The B767-300BCF fleet performed its first commercial cargo flight on the Urumqi–Tashkent route in December 2014, carrying 48 tonnes of freight — a milestone that marked the airline's entry into dedicated freighter operations. The airline also operates two Ilyushin Il-76TD freighters, though these are being gradually phased out as the B767BCF fleet expands.
Modern passenger fleet providing extensive belly-hold capacity. Uzbekistan Airways operates a modern passenger fleet of 44 aircraft, including seven Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners (17,000 kg belly capacity, 50 m³ per flight), six Boeing 767-300ERs (12,000 kg, 40 m³), and a growing fleet of Airbus A320neo family aircraft (1,000–1,500 kg, 4–8 m³). The Boeing 787-8 fleet is deployed on key China routes including Beijing (4× weekly), Guangzhou (weekly from May 2026) and Hangzhou (2× weekly), providing significant belly-hold capacity for Chinese exporters. The airline has orders for 18 additional Airbus A321neo aircraft and is negotiating for 14 more Boeing 787-8s, signalling substantial capacity growth in the years ahead.
Multimodal China–EU cargo corridor via Tashkent. Uzbekistan Airways Cargo participates in an innovative multimodal route connecting China to the European Union via Tashkent. Under this arrangement, e-commerce goods from various Chinese cities are first delivered by road to Tashkent, where they are processed and consolidated, and then sent by air to Liège International Airport in Belgium. This multimodal capability offers Chinese exporters an integrated solution for reaching European markets, combining the flexibility of road transport within China with the speed and reliability of air freight for the international leg.
Special cargo handling and charter services. Uzbekistan Airways Cargo handles a comprehensive range of cargo types including general cargo, perishables, dangerous goods, live animals and oversized shipments. The airline offers dedicated cargo charter flights on Boeing 767-300ER cargo aircraft in any direction, with up to 18 charter cargo flights per week to Europe, China, South Korea and Turkey. For Chinese exporters requiring expedited or specialised services, the airline's charter department can arrange tailored solutions. The airline also provides cargo status tracking through its website.
With dual hubs, a dedicated freighter fleet, extensive belly-hold capacity on modern aircraft, and a strategic multimodal corridor connecting China with Europe, Uzbekistan Airways Cargo is a reliable, strategically positioned partner for Chinese exporters targeting Central Asia and European markets.
