JUN 26, 2003 (newstodate): On June 17, Europe Asia Transit's new route Almaty-Aktau-Atyrau-Almaty was launched.
-The driving motive behind this project is the problems encountered by local airlines in transportation of out-size or heavy shipments. So the "Silk Road" programme aims at providing transport services for all domestic communities, and extending the reach of airlines flying cargo into Almaty by providing onward trucking for final delivery, says Vasiliy Ni, EAT General Director.
The route is operated with an AN-12 freighter on a once-weekly basis from the start.
