Wedoany.com Report-Nov. 7, The U.S. administration under President Donald Trump announced on Thursday new agreements to sell up to 37 Boeing aircraft to airlines in Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The deals were revealed by the Commerce Department at the C5+1 Summit in Washington, marking the 10th anniversary of the diplomatic meeting between the United States and the leaders of five Central Asian republics.

Kazakhstan’s national carrier, Air Astana (AIRA.KZ), plans to acquire up to 15 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners to modernize and expand its fleet. The airline currently operates three Boeing 767 widebody jets connecting Kazakhstan with destinations in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Boeing noted that the new aircraft will enable Air Astana to expand services to North America and enhance its long-haul route network.

Tajikistan’s Somon Air intends to purchase up to 14 Boeing planes, including four 787-9 Dreamliners and 10 737 MAX aircraft. The airline currently operates six Boeing 737 NG jets serving 25 destinations. This will be Somon Air’s first widebody aircraft order, allowing it to launch intercontinental routes from the capital, Dushanbe, and strengthen its international network.

Uzbekistan Airways has converted existing options into a firm order for eight 787 Dreamliners, bringing its total widebody orders to 22. The expansion of Uzbekistan Airways’ fleet is aimed at supporting increased passenger demand and enhancing connectivity to global destinations.

The new deals reflect the role of U.S.-made Boeing aircraft in international trade negotiations and agreements, with sales often highlighted in diplomatic and commercial discussions. Boeing has secured hundreds of aircraft orders this year as part of such arrangements, demonstrating ongoing global demand for U.S. aviation products.

While these Central Asian deals were finalized, Boeing is also in discussions with other major markets. A report in September indicated that Boeing is negotiating a potential sale of up to 500 jets to China, which would represent a significant expansion into the world’s second-largest aviation market, where orders have been limited due to trade-related factors.

Overall, the agreements announced at the C5+1 Summit signal increased collaboration between the U.S. and Central Asian airlines, supporting fleet modernization, expanded international service, and strengthened aviation ties. The deals highlight Boeing’s role as a leading global aircraft supplier and reflect growing air travel demand across the region.

By providing modern, fuel-efficient widebody and narrowbody jets, the agreements aim to enhance operational efficiency, passenger capacity, and long-haul connectivity for the three national carriers, contributing to broader economic and transport development in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
