Uzbekistan Airways Technics (UAT), a structural unit of Uzbekistan Airways, has passed a supervisory audit by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and confirmed compliance with the European Part-145 standard for maintenance organisations. The audit took place in September 2026; the result was published on 8 October (according to UzDaily).
The outlet reports that the audit confirmed that UAT's maintenance system, production processes and quality standards meet the requirements of the European aviation industry. The company said the result strengthens its position in the international maintenance market and opens additional opportunities for cooperation.
What is known about the organisation. EASA lists Uzbekistan Airways Technics among valid foreign Part-145 organisations under approval number EASA.145.0007 (edition of 30 April 2021). The organisation also appears in the Bailiwick of Guernsey approvals register (2-REG) under number 2-REG.145.499 as of 1 January 2026.
Scope of work. According to UAT itself, the organisation performs base maintenance on Boeing 757/767 and Airbus A300/310/318/319/320/321, and line maintenance on the Boeing 787, Il-76TD and Il-114-100. Its 17,280 sq m hangar holds three wide-body aircraft. The company's description also lists base maintenance on the Boeing 737 Classic/NG. Rusaviainsider reported that the Boeing 737 was added to the organisation's EASA Part-145 approval, and that the first heavy check on a Boeing 737-400 was carried out for the Lithuanian operator GetJet.
Our assessment: confirmation of Part-145 status matters first of all for external customers. Airlines and lessors working to European requirements typically look for MRO providers with a valid EASA approval, so UAT gains an argument in competing for third-party base-maintenance contracts in Central Asia. The GetJet example shows the organisation already works beyond its parent airline. This is flycentralasia's conclusion, not a statement by UAT or EASA.
The official list of ratings, meaning the specific aircraft types and kinds of work covered by the EASA approval, is not disclosed in open sources. The scope stated on the company's website is a self-description, and which part of it falls under the EASA approval is not specified. The audit's duration, the auditors and the approval's validity period have not been published.
