On Friday, January 6th, for the very first time in the history, Riga International Airport serviced Boeing 787 Dreamliner, an aircraft operated by Uzbekistan Airways in the route Tashkent - Riga - Tashkent.

There were 215 passengers on board the aircraft.

Uzbekistan Airways has been operating flights from Riga already since 2004, offering direct flights to Tashkent and New York. Boeing 787 Dreamliner is the most fuel-efficient Boeing aircraft and the first, in the design of which mainly composite materials have been used. The aircraft has 244 seats. This aircraft will complement the carrier's Boeing 767 fleet in flights from Riga to Tashkent and New York.
