Fly Khiva (2U, Tashkent International) is negotiating the dry lease of an additional B737 as it considers retaining wet-leased B737-800 capacity from GetJet Airlines, industry outlet CentralAsia+Aero reported citing a representative of the Uzbek carrier.

The prospective dry lease would be separate from the current ACMI arrangement covering GetJet Airlines' B737-800 LY-DUE (msn 33996). However, details remain scarce as to the variant, lessor, number of aircraft involved, and expected delivery date. The carrier is also considering extending the wet lease of LY-DUE, with no revised end date disclosed as yet.

Separately, Fly Khiva plans to return B757-300 UK75006 (msn 29434) to service during autumn 2026. The aircraft has been undergoing maintenance since January, leaving UK75007 (msn 30179) as its only active B757.

As ch-aviation previously reported, Fly Khiva said in December 2025 that it aimed to acquire two B737 MAX jets in 2027 as part of plans to expand its fleet.

The Uzbek passenger and cargo carrier operates an in-house fleet of two B757-300s and one B767-300ER(BCF).
