Cho Yang-ho said: “In Uzbekistan it has sealed a partnership with Navoi Airport with a view to developing it as a logistics hub for Central Asia.”

“We found an opportunity of investing and managing Navoi airport in Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan wanted to have a hub for central Asia and we are managing the airport, and with co-operation with Uzbekistan Airways, we find some good opportunity to expand with new markets. Hopefully this will fill the gap of what we are losing in our own market. Overall volumes and revenue may be the same or even better.”

“In the cargo market there is still a lot of room for growth and we can create new markets like Uzbekistan,” he said.
