Sep 12, 2013 (newstodate): Already cooperating with Kazakhstan's aviation authorities for years, Lufthansa Consulting is expanding its engagement in the country with a further assignment estimated to last four months.
Under a new contract, the consultancy will develop an airport holding strategy for 11 state airports.
The 11 airports comprise the capital airport in Astana as well as larger and smaller regional airports in Aktobe, Atyrau, Kokshetau, Kostanay, Kyzylorda, Pavlodar, Petropavlovsk, Semipalatinsk, Shymkent and Ust-Kamenogorsk.
The aim is to successfully develop and coordinate the country's airport operations in line with international safety standards as well as international best practice commercial and operational management.
To achieve this, the current local and regional governmental ownership will be transferred and the airports' management and services consolidated in a new multimodal management company under the Railway Company of Kazakhstan.
In a first phase, Lufthansa Consulting will perform a technical and market analysis as well as a traffic forecast that defines the strategic market segment and traffic potential per airport until 2030.
Based on the findings, Lufthansa Consulting will derive the necessary investment program.
Finally, the organizational structure for the new management company will be designed.
After summarizing all project results, the strategic action plan including ideas for a potential public-private partnership structure in line with international best practice, will form the basis for implementation.
