My Freighter partners with Biman, plans major fleet expansion
In a statement to The STAT Trade Times, Mamur Mamadaliev, First Deputy CEO and CCO of My Freighter, said the airline plans to grow its fleet to 30–50 aircraft by end-2026.
Tashkent-based cargo carrier My Freighter has signed an interline agreement with Biman Bangladesh Airlines, the national carrier of Bangladesh.
The airline mentioned the partnership in a LinkedIn post, stating that this strategic collaboration establishes a new and efficient cargo corridor between Bangladesh and Central Asia, leveraging Biman’s extensive regional coverage and My Freighter’s direct freighter operations from Dubai World Central (DWC) to Tashkent.
My Freighter further highlighted that Biman operates an extensive cargo network from Dhaka to major hubs across the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, including frequent flights to Dubai, a key transit point for air cargo. Through this interline agreement, shipments originating in Bangladesh can seamlessly connect via Dubai to My Freighter’s dedicated freighter flights to Tashkent, offering a faster and more reliable routing option between the two regions.
The agreement enables improved access to Bangladeshi textile and pharmaceutical exports for the Central Asian market, while significantly reducing transit times from Dhaka to Uzbekistan and neighboring countries. By optimising cargo connectivity through a joint Dhaka–Dubai–Tashkent corridor, the partnership offers a streamlined and efficient routing solution. It also provides a scalable logistics framework to support key industries such as apparel, healthcare, e-commerce, and high-value goods.
In a statement given to The STAT Trade Times, Mamur Mamadaliev, First Deputy CEO and CCO of My Freighter, mentioned that the airline is planning to expand to a fleet of 30-50 aircraft by the end of 2026. My Freighter currently operates a freighter fleet of eight Boeing 767Fs and one Boeing 757F. The airline received its eighth Boeing 767F in May this year.
The carrier also operates charter flights and passenger services under the Centrum Air brand. Its passenger fleet currently comprises eight narrow-body aircraft, including Airbus A320, A320neo, and A321neo models, and one wide-body Airbus A330.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines has a fleet of 20 aircraft, comprising five Boeing 737s, four Boeing 777s, six Boeing 787s, and five De Havilland Canada DHC-8-400s, according to data from Planespotters.net.
This partnership with Biman Bangladesh strengthens logistics connectivity between South Asia and Central Asia by offering end-to-end multimodal solutions, all covered under a single airway bill, the post stated.
My Freighter has recently announced an agreement with Icelandair Cargo, the cargo division of Iceland’s flag carrier, Icelandair.
The partnership with Icelandair Cargo strengthens My Freighter’s access to Northern Europe and extends its connectivity to North America, including the U.S., through Icelandair Cargo’s network.
My Freighter stated that by linking Central Asia with Iceland, it is opening new lanes for time-sensitive cargo, including high-value goods such as seafood and perishables.
