RateGain Travel Technologies Limited announced that Uzbekistan Airways, the national carrier of Uzbekistan, has selected AirGain, RateGain’s competitive fare intelligence platform for airlines. The platform will provide the airline’s revenue management team with a clear, real-time view of competitor fares across its network.
The partnership comes at a defining moment for the airline. Uzbekistan Airways carried 6.6 million passengers across more than 49,000 flights in 2025, as it continued to expand connectivity across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. It operates a fleet of 47 aircraft and is the only Central Asian carrier flying direct to New York. The airline plans to at least double its fleet by 2030, backed by orders for 36 new Airbus and Boeing aircraft, amid growing domestic competition from new entrants. Following a competitive tender, the airline selected AirGain for RateGain’s deep aviation pricing expertise, comprehensive market coverage across airline websites, online travel agencies, metasearch and GDS, and proven track record with carriers across Central Asia.
Under the partnership, RateGain will work closely with the Uzbekistan Airways revenue management team to monitor every route in its network and translate that data into everyday pricing decisions. AirGain’s AI-powered tools, including Smart Search and AI Daily Digest, will help analysts identify competitor moves early, price new routes with confidence, and manage a larger network with less manual effort. As Tashkent grows into a hub connecting Europe and Asia, both companies see this as the beginning of a long-term relationship aligned with the airline’s growth ambitions.
Speaking on the partnership, Vinay Varma, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Air, RateGain Travel Technologies Limited, said: “Central Asia is strengthening its role as a bridge between Europe, the Middle East and Asia, with Tashkent playing an important part. Uzbekistan Airways’ fleet investment and expanding partnerships reflect a clear ambition to grow internationally. AirGain gives revenue teams a clearer view of competitor pricing and market shifts, helping them make faster, more informed commercial decisions. We are proud to partner with Uzbekistan Airways as it expands its network and strengthens its international presence.”
Shukhrat Yadgarov, Deputy Chairman of the Board for Commerce and Tourism, said: “Demand for air travel in Uzbekistan has never been stronger, and we are investing in our fleet and network to meet it. As we grow, every pricing decision matters more. AirGain gives our revenue team a clear, real-time view of the market across every route we fly, so we can respond to competitors quickly and price new routes with confidence. It is the kind of capability a growing national carrier needs.”
The partnership strengthens RateGain’s presence in Central Asia, where multiple airlines in the region already use AirGain. The platform helps airlines price more intelligently, respond faster and capture more direct revenue. Carriers using AirGain have reported up to 80% faster access to actionable insights, a 1.5% increase in direct bookings, and integration time cut by 30 days.
