Jan 28, 2020 (newstodate): The World Bank has firmed up its support for the modernization of Uzbekistan's civil aviation sector.
A second agreement has been inked, following up on a previously signed agreement in August 2019, granting the World Bank's assistance to Uzbekistan in formulating a new National Aviation Policy.
Replacing the old Soviet-style integrating all aviation-related activities within one single body, functions have already been separated in the form of two separate joint-stock state-owned companies: Uzbekistan Airways and Uzbekistan Airports.
Uzbekistan Airways is now responsibly only for airline-related activities including fleet, route network, sales, marketing and operations, while Uzbekistan Airports will undertake responsibility for the management of 11 international airports serving Tashkent, Andijan, Fergana, Namangan, Karshi, Termez, Urgench, Nukus, Samarkand, Bukhara and Navoi.
Equally crucial is the transfer of Uzbek Air Navigation Center to the Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan.
All other aviation companies earlier under one hat will be spun-off as separate companies, including the MRO provider Uzbekistan Airways Technics.
Also part of the new infrastructure, the country's independent State Inspection for Flight Safety Oversight was established as of January 1, 2019.
