Over these years, new destinations were opened, the air fleet was renewed, modern aviation technologies were mastered, and the technical and educational base was strengthened. But behind every achievement of the airline, every executed flight, and every new stage of the development, people always stood and stand.

These are the pilots and the flight attendants, the engineers and the technicians, the specialists of the ground services, and many other employees. Some of them continue to work within the airline today, some have already become veterans of the industry, having transferred the knowledge and the experience to the following generation of aviators. Namely the professionalism, the responsibility, and the devotion to the duty of these individuals throughout the decades created the history of Uzbekistan Airways.

The labor of the aviators received a high evaluation from the leadership of the country. In accordance with the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan in connection with the 35 anniversary of the Independence, five representatives of Uzbekistan Airways and the structures of the airline were awarded high state awards.

Another 164 employees of the Joint Stock Company of "Uzbekistan Airways" and the structural subdivisions of the company were marked by the commemorative sign of "35 years of the Independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan".

These awards are the recognition not merely of the personal merits of our colleagues, but also of the labor of the large team of the civil aviation, which daily ensures the safety of flights, connects cities and countries, and brings a contribution to the development of Uzbekistan.

The 35 anniversary of the Independence is an opportunity to look back with pride upon the traversed path and to look forward with confidence.
