Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to permit more flights between Tashkent, Almaty, and Astana
The frequency of flights between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan has been decided to increase: on the Almaty–Tashkent and Astana–Tashkent routes, the figure may reach up to 60 flights per week.
Negotiations on expanding regular air communication between the countries took place in Tashkent. The meeting was held within the framework of the "China–Central Asia" working group conference on cooperation in civil aviation.
The Kazakh side was represented by the Chairperson of the Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry, Saltanat Tompiyeva. From Uzbekistan, the Head of the Air Transport Department of the Ministry of Transport, Jamoliddin Nazarov, participated in the discussion. The parties reviewed the frequency of flights and the accessibility of travel between the largest cities.
For other routes, the permitted flight frequency is planned to be increased from 14 to 20 per week. The Ministry of Transport of Kazakhstan believes that the agreements will increase the number of seats on the most in-demand routes.
