It should be noted that the Center is the only strategically important organization providing air navigation services in the civil aviation sector of Uzbekistan.

The Center’s main activities include the efficient management of air traffic within Uzbekistan’s airspace, the provision of air navigation services, and the assurance of flight safety.

In particular, services were provided to a total of 187.9 thousand aircraft in 2023, exceeding the planned target by 130 percent. This figure increased to 255.8 thousand aircraft in 2024 and 271.6 thousand aircraft in 2025.

At the same time, the Center continues systematic efforts to open new air corridors and increase the volume of transit flights.

The analysis identified several shortcomings in the Center’s operations, including:

-the existing infrastructure capacity within the national airspace has not been fully utilized;

-although positive growth dynamics were observed in the Center’s financial indicators, the increase in accounts receivable and liabilities has had a certain impact on financial stability.

Specifically, while revenues showed growth during 2023–2025, net profit in 2025 decreased by UZS 49.1 billion (12.5 percent) compared to 2024, and profitability declined from 42.7 percent to 35.6 percent.

This situation was influenced by increased operating and investment expenditures, as well as the growth of receivables and payables;

-there remains a need to further improve the Center’s corporate governance, internal audit, compliance and KPI systems and to enhance operational efficiency.

Based on the findings, a number of practical recommendations were developed and methodological assistance was provided, including:

-optimizing the organizational structure and staffing of the Center based on functional workloads, as well as establishing accounting and treasury divisions as separate structural units to strengthen financial control;

-strengthening corporate oversight mechanisms through the Supervisory Board and the Internal Audit Service;

-developing a roadmap for assessing corruption and conflict-of-interest risks in procurement processes and introducing effective preventive mechanisms.

It is noteworthy that, during the analysis, practical measures were launched to introduce the “Unified Treasury” information system aimed at digitalizing financial planning and control processes within the Center.

In addition, accounts receivable and payable debts totaling UZS 21 billion were reduced, and the collection of previously unassessed taxes amounting to UZS 11 billion into the state budget was ensured.

The results of the analytical review were discussed with responsible officials, and relevant instructions were issued along with necessary measures to eliminate the identified shortcomings and prevent their recurrence.

Furthermore, the Cabinet of Ministers and the Ministry of Transport approved an action plan consisting of 26 measures aimed at addressing the issues identified during the review conducted at UzAirNavigation Centre LLC.
