Jan 11, 2023 (newstodate): Kazakhstan is keen to develop its air connectivity, seeing Open Skies policy as a key instrument.
In November 2019, the Kazakh government announced Open Skies to be implemented for an initial period of three years at 11 airports in the country including Nur-Sultan, Almaty, Shymkent, Aktau, Karaganda, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Pavlodar, Kokshetau, Taraz, Petropavlovsk, and Semey.
Now, the Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development of Kazakhstan has extended by another five years the open skies' policy at 12 airports of the country until the end of 2027.
The Open Skies policy now comprises 12 international airports in the cities of Astana, Alma-Ata, Taraz, Chimkent, Aktau, Semipalatinsk, Karaganda, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Pavlodar, Petropavlovsk, Kokshetau and Turkestan, and has also been implemented at the international airport of Aktobe.
Hopes are that lifting restrictions on foreign airlines by granting 5th Freedom Rights will attract more carriers to operate via Kazakhstan on routes to other destinations in third countries not served by Kazakh carriers.
The new regime is introduced as of November 1., 2019, for an initial period of three years and with provisions for extension
