The Chkalov Tashkent Industrial Aircraft Association was created on the basis of the Russian aircraft plant. It was evacuated to Uzbekistan in 1941 from the town of Khimki (Moscow region). The enterprise produced different models of aircraft, wings for AN-124 (Ruslan) and AN-225 (Mriya), including IL-76 aircraft and its numerous modifications.
The enterprise was transformed into a corporation in May 1996. Over 76.6 percent is owned by the state, 10 percent - the labor collective, 6.7 percent of shares are owned by the National Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs and the Uzbek Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, Investments and Trade in the structure of the share capital of the company.
