Kazakh government presents plan for aviation industry development

Kazakhstan will enhance its system for training aviation specialists with the involvement of international training centers. The government has presented a three-year plan for the development of civil aviation, which includes modernizing airport infrastructure and navigation, expanding both international and domestic route networks, and increasing the aircraft fleet. The Almaty and Astana air hubs will receive special development, where terminal reconstruction and runway upgrades are planned. The strategy also envisions the creation of cargo and technical clusters, along with a service ecosystem. Ensuring a high level of compliance with ICAO standards remains a priority. According to this year’s ICAO audit, Kazakhstan’s compliance rate stands at 95.7%, while the global average is 72%. Overall, passenger traffic grew by 6% in the first 10 months of the year, surpassing 13 million passengers.
