Avolon has agreed to lease five Airbus A320neo family aircraft to Centrum Air, a carrier launched in 2023 and Uzbekistan’s largest private airline. The transaction was announced at the Dubai Airshow. Avolon added Centrum Air as a customer earlier this year through the lease of an A320-200 that was delivered last month. The new aircraft are scheduled for delivery in 2027. Centrum Air currently flies to more than 40 domestic and international destinations, including Dubai, Istanbul, Delhi, Seoul, Guangzhou, Bangkok, Phuket, and Male. The new aircraft will support Centrum Air’s route expansion and growth plans. Avolon had 347 A320neo family aircraft on order as of 30 September 2025.
Commenting on the announcement of the deal, the President and Chief Commercial Officer at Avolon, Paul Geaney said, “We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Centrum Air and to provide them with additional capacity to support their growth plans. Our large order book of new technology aircraft, in a market with limited available supply, provides us with exciting potential to support our customers’ plans to expand in Central Asia’s fast-growing aviation market.”
Also commenting was the Chairman of Centrum Air, Abdulaziz Abdurakhmanov, who added, “We are pleased to expand our partnership with Avolon as we continue to grow our fleet and strengthen our international network. These new aircraft will play an important role in supporting our strategic plans for expansion and improving the travel experience for our passengers. This cooperation marks another milestone in Centrum Air’s long-term development.”
