"We are eager to strengthen our Boeing fleet with 767s to continue competing successfully and meet continued demand for air travel in our region," said Valeri Tyan, general director of Uzbekistan Airways. "This order is yet another step forward in our strong relationship with Boeing. We look forward to operating the 787 and benefiting from its advanced performance features. Until then, the 767-300ER is the economical and logical choice to fulfill our interim capacity targets and our growth plans."
