UzNIF to prepare international IPO of Uzbekistan Airways; government targets 15%-20% sell-down by end-2026

Uzbekistan’s National Investment Fund (UzNIF) will begin preparations for an initial public offering of Uzbekistan Airways as part of the state’s next-stage capital-attraction strategy. The government plans to list the airline on international capital markets by end-2026, placing 15% to 20% of shares externally.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The planned 15%-20% external sell-down and end-2026 international listing mark a concrete shift from earlier partial-IPO planning for Uzbekistan Airways, shaping how the carrier taps capital markets (source:01531afd-6fd2-485f-9422-1054576a5adf).
  • The UzNIF-led process signals a structured approach to governance and ownership changes that can affect investor expectations around fleet, network, and financing.
  • For regional carriers and investors, the move is a reference point for Central Asia’s broader trend toward monetizing state assets through public-market access rather than relying solely on government support.
