The construction of a new airport has begun in Zaisan. The
air harbor will be located on the site of a former military airfield near the
village of Satpai, 25 km from the city. Its total area, including the necessary
infrastructure, will cover 184.5 hectares. The airport will feature a runway
over two kilometers long, with the potential for expansion, allowing it to accommodate
regional-class aircraft. Discussions are currently underway regarding the
purchase of the first ATR-72 aircraft. There are plans to launch flights to
China, as well as domestic routes to Astana, Almaty, and Oskemen. Additionally,
to boost tourism in the region, five railway stations are set to be renovated.
