HumoAir was a low-cost airline based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Foundation
HumoAir was established by Uzbekistan's national airline, Uzbekistan Airways. The country's Cabinet of Ministers signed a decree to transfer a fleet of 43 An-2 aircraft to HumoAir in January 2020. The carrier received an AOC in May 2020.[1] Switzerland's Valleyroad Capital S.A acquired HumoAir at the start of 2023 for $2.4 million. The deal planned to revitalize the airline and re-brand it as a low-cost airline.[citation needed] It launched its first passenger flight on December 15, 2023, from Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport.[citation needed]
Suspension
On 29 February 2024 HumoAir announced suspension of all flights since 11 March 2024 until April 2024.[4][5] The decision to suspend domestic flights was announced as part of HumoAir's broader strategy to prepare for the launch of routes to international destinations such as Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. This transition entails replanning and restructuring efforts within the airline.[6] As of May 2024 all flight operations remain suspended.[7]
