Dubai-based aviation support provider Jetex has signed an agreement with Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Transport to establish the country’s first FBO. The memorandum of cooperation signed this week by Jetex founder and CEO Adel Mardini and transport minister Ilhom Mahkamov begins the process for the former to develop an FBO in the country’s capital.
“At the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, we are advancing the development of business aviation infrastructure in Uzbekistan, starting with Tashkent East Airport,” said Mahkamov. “With Jetex’s expertise, we are committed to delivering a premier experience and building the infrastructure necessary to position Uzbekistan as a leading business aviation hub in the region.”
With its global network, Jetex believes its experience in the private aviation arena will align with the country’s ambition to foster sustainable growth in aviation. “We are thrilled to be part of this pioneering initiative to develop Uzbekistan’s business aviation infrastructure,” said Mardini, adding that the pact represents a significant step in his company’s growth in the CIS region. “The country’s dynamic economic growth and forward-looking vision create tremendous opportunities for innovation and expansion.”
