Centrum Air has welcomed a new Airbus A321neo to its fleet, marking the 11th aircraft overall and the fifth member of the NEO family in the airline’s growing lineup.
The new Airbus A321-253NX, registered as UK32132, was assembled at the Airbus facility in Hamburg. The aircraft successfully completed all required factory checks, including a comprehensive flight test on July 8. During the 2-hour 25-minute flight, the crew tested the aircraft’s systems across various phases — including climb, cruise, and descent.
Equipped with the latest CFMI LEAP-1A33 engines, the aircraft delivers increased fuel efficiency and lower noise emissions. Painted in Centrum Air’s signature livery, the new A321neo will soon begin operating on both regional and international routes.
Centrum Air remains Uzbekistan’s most rapidly growing private airline. In just 2.5 years since its founding, the company has launched 11 aircraft and opened more than 35 destinations. By the end of 2025, the fleet is expected to reach 14 aircraft, expanding to 21 by the end of 2026.
"Each new aircraft is another step toward making air travel more accessible for our passengers. We’re not just growing our fleet — we’re building a modern, innovative, and passenger-focused airline. The new A321neo represents reliability, sustainability, and comfort," said Centrum Air founder and CEO Abdulaziz Abdurakhmanov.
Centrum Air announces the launch of daily scheduled flights on the Tashkent – Antalya – Tashkent route. Operations will commence on May 29 and will be performed on a daily basis throughout the summer season. This long-awaited destination will become one of the most significant additions to the airline’s summer network.The flights will be operated using wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft designed for long-haul travel and offering enhanced comfort. The spacious cabin and increased seat pitch will ensure a more convenient and enjoyable journey for passengers.Airfares start from UZS 7.9 million round-trip, including baggage.Antalya traditionally remains one of the most popular summer holiday destinations. Turkey attracts travelers with its mild Mediterranean climate, long sandy beaches, developed hotel infrastructure, and a wide range of holiday formats – from family-friendly resorts to active excursion programs. The region is also known for its historical landmarks, scenic landscapes, and high level of service.The launch of daily flights to Antalya expands Centrum Air’s summer route network and provides passengers with more opportunities for planning their holidays. The summer season is traditionally characterized by strong demand for resort destinations, and the increased frequency will help meet traveler demand while offering convenient departure options.

London, UK, 4 March 2026 – Centrum Air has successfully completed a comprehensive train-the-trainer programme with the support of Acron Aviation. This initiative has equipped our internal training team with the expertise and skills needed to independently deliver Crew Resource Management (CRM) training to our pilots.The initiative represents a significant step forward in enabling culture change within Centrum Air, providing its instructors with the skills, tools, and knowledge to deliver CRM training, including Human Factors through a sustainable, in-house model. Acron Aviation’s dedicated training team, experts in CRM, designed and developed the tailored courseware, delivered a series of train-the-trainer workshops, and supported the initial roll-out alongside Centrum Air’s newly qualified instructors. This collaborative approach ensures both immediate operational readiness and long-term training resilience.David Coward, President, Acron Aviation, said: “Empowering airlines to build their own training capability is central to our philosophy of creating lasting value for our customers. By equipping Centrum Air’s team to independently deliver CRM training, we are not only enhancing operational safety and efficiency today but also supporting their long-term growth ambitions.” Coward continued, “This programme reflects our commitment to building ongoing partnerships, working side-by-side with our customers to develop sustainable solutions that strengthen their organisation for years to come.”The benefits to Centrum Air extend beyond operational efficiency. By embedding CRM principles deeply into its safety culture, the airline is strengthening pilot performance, supporting its growth trajectory, and advancing its application for European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulatory approval - an accreditation that requires robust CRM practices.Eldar Khamdeev, Deputy CEO for Flight Operations, , LLC My Freighter / Centrum Air said: “This foundational approach positions Centrum Air as innovators, being the only airline in region with the capability to independently conduct CRM training. The benefits of upskilling our trainers, enhancing pilot capabilities and reducing reliance on external providers will only strengthen the airlines safety culture.”This milestone further reinforces the growing partnership between the two organisations. Centrum Air pilots already complete their Type Rating training at Acron Aviation’s London Training Centre, and with Acron Aviation maintaining oversight of CRM standards, the collaboration continues to build long-term value for both companies.

Centrum Air announces adjustments to fuel surcharges on certain international routes. The decision has been made in response to the significant increase in aviation fuel prices on global markets.The changes affect several scheduled routes where fuel price dynamics have had the greatest impact on operating costs. The adjustment of the fuel surcharge is intended to partially offset increased expenses and ensure the sustainability of the flight programme.At the same time, base airfares remain competitive, and the introduced changes are limited in scope and applied selectively to specific routes. The airline is taking measures to optimize costs and minimize the impact of external factors on ticket prices for passengers.Centrum Air emphasizes that this decision will help maintain schedule stability, uphold high flight safety standards, and ensure continuity of operations amid volatility in aviation fuel prices.
