Only six weeks remain until the two-day Central Asia Air Cargo Summit #2 opens in Tashkent, the
capital of Uzbekistan. The Summit is the region’s leading platform for exploring the transformation of
air logistics across Eurasia. Bringing together over 40 airlines, tech innovators, regulators, and logistics
companies, it reflects Central Asia’s dynamic growth and catalyzes its continued
development as a global cargo hub.
The Central Asia Air Cargo Summit #2 is more than just another aviation event — it is a strategic
business platform where regional ambition meets global opportunity. Featuring an unparalleled
gathering of airlines from Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, the Summit is set to
become the most dynamic networking and dealmaking hub in the region’s logistics calendar.
Central Asia is rapidly evolving into a crucial node of the global air cargo network. Fueled by fleet
expansion, infrastructure investment, and strategic geography, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan—and broader regional players—are staking a claim as pivotal logistics hubs:
- Uzbekistan air cargo volumes surged from 80,100 t in 2022, up ~62% from 2019. Projections for
2023–25 are between 95,000 to 120,000 t, supported by the new Tashkent cargo terminal
expansion. - My Freighter Airlines has grown rapidly, with 14 freighters in early 2025 and four B767300ER
aircraft—with interline agreements to Air Europa, Icelandair Cargo, and Aeroméxico, extending its
reach to the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. - Centrum Air, a hybrid passenger-cargo operator, now runs 11 aircraft, including A320neos and
A330300s, launching routes like Nukus–Aktau (Kazakhstan) and expanding to Southeast Asia.
An impressive list of international participants and a stellar line-up of speakers will ensure in-depth
discussions and valuable insights into the development of the region’s air cargo market — crucial for
airlines, forwarders, airports, and tech providers alike. Among the confirmed speakers are top
executives from the following companies: Air Cargo Week, Atlas Air, DHL Global Forwarding, Etihad,
FedEx, Flynas, Freightos Group, Hans Infomatic, IATA, Lufthansa Cargo, Lufthansa Innovation Hub, My
Freighter, Qanot Sharq, Qatar Airways Cargo, Saudia Cargo, SolitAir Holding, Turkish Airlines, Vietjet
Qazaqstan, WOXSEN University.
One of the key highlights of the upcoming Summit will be an exclusive guided tour of the newly
inaugurated cargo terminal at Tashkent International Airport (TAS), spanning 5.2 hectares. This state-
The of-the-art terminal, now one of the most advanced air cargo facilities in Central Asia, has quadrupled
the airport’s cargo handling capacity to an impressive 120,000 tons annually.

opportunities to enter this booming region. Some sponsorship opportunities remain, but are filling up
fast. The registration fee is €900 per delegate and will increase to €1,100 on August 25, 2025.
