Uzbekistan-based cargo airline My Freighter has added another Boeing 767-300 freighter to its fleet, taking its 767F count to 11 aircraft as it pushes deeper into Asia-Europe trade lanes through its Tashkent hub.
The 55-tonne-capacity aircraft, registered UK67023, will give the carrier more flexibility and additional options for imports and exports via Tashkent, as well as stronger connections between Asia and Europe, the airline said.
"Every aircraft we add strengthens our ability to connect Central Asia with the markets that matter to our customers and partners," the carrier said in a statement.
The aircraft carries the name Zahiriddin Muhammad Bobur — a native of Andijan, poet, statesman and founder of the Mughal Empire.
How large is the fleet now?
According to Planespotters.net, My Freighter now operates 10 Boeing 767 freighters, alongside a single Boeing 757 freighter. The Centrum Holding-owned carrier has been one of the fastest-growing cargo airlines in the region, converting widebody capacity into scheduled network growth across six markets: Central Asia, Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, Europe and North America.
For shippers and forwarders, the fleet expansion signals incremental maindeck capacity on lanes that have historically relied on interline connections or trucking through Russian and Turkish gateways. More 767F metal at Tashkent means more direct options for cargo moving between China, Southeast Asia and European secondary hubs.
Where is the capacity going?
The aircraft arrives amid a rapid sequence of network moves by the carrier:
- July: My Freighter increased flight frequencies to Liege to daily service, reinforcing the Belgian airport's role as a key European cargo gateway.
- March: the airline launched new routes between Asia and Frankfurt Airport in Germany.
- January: the carrier announced scheduled cargo flights from Hong Kong International Airport to Maastricht Aachen Airport in the Netherlands, routed via its main hub at Tashkent.
The pattern shows a clear strategy: pair Asian origin points with European regional cargo airports — Liege, Maastricht, Frankfurt — rather than competing head-on for slots at congested primary hubs. For forwarders, that translates into additional maindeck loading points in Europe's cargo-friendly airports, with Tashkent positioned as the connecting node.
Partnerships compound the fleet growth
Fleet expansion is only part of the picture. Interline partnerships, most recently signed with Air Canada and Singapore Airlines in July, are extending My Freighter's reach beyond its own metal. The carrier has also appointed Group Concorde as cargo sales agent in four countries under a GSA partnership agreed in June, broadening its commercial footprint in markets where it lacks its own sales infrastructure.
The combination — more owned aircraft, interline reach and outsourced sales — positions the airline to scale volumes quickly without matching overhead, a model that mirrors the asset-light network building seen among other fast-growing freighter operators in the Gulf and Central Asia.
For incumbent carriers on Asia-Europe cargo lanes, the growth adds another competitor for transshipment traffic via Central Asia, a routing that has gained traction as shippers seek alternatives to traditional gateways. For Tashkent, each additional freighter strengthens its claim as a serious cargo hub rather than a niche origin point.
With daily Liege frequencies now running, Frankfurt and Maastricht routes established and two new interline partners feeding the network, further fleet additions look likely as My Freighter continues to convert Central Asia's geographic position into maindeck capacity between Asia and Europe.
