JAN 26, 2005 (newstodate): Uzbekistan Hava Yollari will retire all remaining Russian aircraft from service within three or four years.
-The age of most planes is over 30 years now, and that makes them unsafe, says Valery Tjan, airline director.
Already last year the company ceased operations with its fleet of IL-62M, IL-86, and TU-153V aircraft.
The airline's TU-154M, AN-24, and YAK-40 aircraft are still used for local flights, and will be replaced with IL-114-100 aircraft now being assembled the Chkalov Factory in Tashkent.
