This launch follows a pre-launch celebration held on September 26, 2025, at The Grand, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, attended by Sardor Rustambaev, Ambassador of Uzbekistan, senior dignitaries, trade partners, and media representatives. Highlights included welcome addresses, presentations on Centrum Air’s vision, an engaging lucky draw, and networking over a specially curated lunch.
