Aviation experts from Europe have
come to Kazakhstan to share their experience and teach domestic specialists how
to counter modern threats such as cyber and laser attacks on aircraft.
Participants of a dedicated seminar gathered in Astana to learn all the
peculiarities and recommendations of foreign professionals. The event is organized
by the European Civil Aviation Conference, which has been closely cooperating with
Kazakhstan for the last few years. Experts from Kazakhstan, France, the UK,
Portugal, Ukraine, Georgia, Bulgaria, Spain and the Central Asian countries
also intend to discuss the issues of expanding cooperation in cargo and
passenger air transportation, particularly between Kazakhstan and the European
Union (EU).
“I think, of course this depends
on the further development of the economic relations. We hope they have been
rapidly developing in the past year. The trade is increasing between the EU and
Kazakhstan. And of course we hope that this will further develop, and for that
we need aviation transport and more aviation relations, also maybe more
competition on the routes to have more better tariffs for the consumers, both
for cargo as well as for passengers,” said Johannes Baur, Head of Cooperation
at the EU Delegation to Kazakhstan.
