My Freighter secures UK approval for cargo operations
The Central Asian carrier has received ACC3 designation from the UK Department for Transport, with flights to the country expected to begin soon.
My Freighter has received ACC3 designation from the UK Department for Transport, allowing the Tashkent-based air cargo carrier to operate cargo flights to the United Kingdom, as it expands its fleet and international network.
The designation confirms that the carrier's cargo security procedures meet UK aviation security standards. My Freighter said the approval would allow it to offer secure and compliant cargo services from Tashkent to the UK, providing a new connection for shippers and freight forwarders in Uzbekistan and the wider region. The airline said flights to the UK would begin soon, with schedules to be announced.
The UK approval comes as My Freighter expands its dedicated cargo fleet. The airline received its 10th Boeing 767 freighter, registered UK67023, at its Tashkent hub on October 4. The aircraft is a Boeing 767-328ER(BCF), bringing its Boeing 767 fleet to 10 aircraft and its total fleet to 11, including one Boeing 757 freighter.
My Freighter plans to add four freighters during 2026 and is targeting a fleet of 50 aircraft by 2030, according to its Business Development Director, Mohy Sheneshen. The airline is also planning to add an Airbus A330-200 freighter to support longer routes, with the United States expected to be its main market.
The carrier is developing its network through Tashkent, which serves as its hub-and-spoke base. It launched daily cargo flights from Liège in August to strengthen connectivity between Europe and Central Asia. It has also signed interline agreements with Air Canada Cargo and Singapore Airlines Cargo to extend access to partner networks.
My Freighter is also building a dedicated cargo terminal at Tashkent Airport, which was expected to begin a soft opening in November or December 2026, according to Sheneshen. The facility is intended to support the airline's growing cargo operations.
The airline plans to develop cargo flows across Africa, the Middle East, and routes connecting Asia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) with Europe. It is also targeting markets in the US, Canada and South America as it expands its international network.
