In January-November, Kazakh airlines transported 12.3 million passengers, which is 23% more than last year.

The volume of services at airports increased by 25%. There is significant growth in Almaty with 9 million (+34%) passengers and Astana with 7 million (+26%) passengers served, Astana Times reported.

To meet the growing demand for air travel, work continues to modernize airport infrastructure. Next year, the construction of new passenger terminals at Almaty, Kyzylorda, and Shymkent airports will be completed.

Addressing a government meeting attendees, Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov outlined positive figures in the country’s aviation industry.

“The number of flights over the year almost doubled to 410,000. Passenger traffic is expected to grow by 22% this year, reaching 13 million people. Air travel within the country has increased significantly – up to 644 weekly flights on 51 routes,” said Smailov.
