Boeing Stock Rises After Uzbekistan Airways Places Major Aircraft Order

Boeing shares climbed 2.3% in premarket trading on Monday after Uzbekistan Airways confirmed a multibillion-dollar aircraft order, offering a boost to the U.S. aerospace giant’s recovery efforts.

The deal adds significantly to Boeing’s order backlog, reinforcing international confidence in its commercial programs at a time when the company is working to restore its reputation after years of operational and production setbacks.

Uzbekistan Airways, the national flag carrier, said the order supports its fleet renewal and expansion plans as it seeks to strengthen connectivity across Europe, Asia, and North America. The Central Asian aviation market has shown strong growth momentum, driven by rising business travel and regional economic integration.

For Boeing, the deal underscores its competitiveness against Airbus in emerging markets where airlines prioritize cost-effectiveness and proven reliability. Analysts said the stock’s early gains reflect investor optimism over tangible signs of recovery, with international orders serving as leading indicators of Boeing’s market health.

The contract will feed into Boeing’s multiyear backlog, ensuring production stability and providing predictable revenue. Industry analysts noted that fleet renewal remains a key driver of aircraft demand globally, with carriers replacing older planes with more fuel-efficient models to cut costs and meet sustainability goals.

Boeing’s success in Central Asia highlights the strategic importance of international partnerships as the company rebuilds momentum in the global aviation market.
