Uzbek Cargo Carrier My Freighter Leases Two New A321neo Aircraft from AerCap

Published

AerCap Holdings N.V. has signed lease agreements with Uzbek cargo airline My Freighter for two new Airbus A321neo aircraft, scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2027, Trend reports.

AerCap Chief Commercial Officer Peter Anderson said the fuel-efficient, extended-range A321neo will support the expansion of both My Freighter and its passenger subsidiary Centrum Air, enabling entry into new markets.

The announcement comes as Uzbekistan strengthens its aviation sector. Uzbekistan Airways recently increased its order of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners to 22 aircraft as part of its long-haul fleet modernization program.

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tashkent, My Freighter operates cargo flights across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, specializing in perishable goods, hazardous materials, and complex freight. The addition of the A321neo aircraft will further diversify its fleet, which currently consists primarily of Boeing models.
