Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov held a meeting on transport sector
development. The meeting focused on the implementation
of instructions from the Head of State in the field of logistics. Special
attention was given to expanding maritime and rail transportation, as well as launching a national cargo
airline. In particular, discussions focused on its operational activities,
including the phased deployment of aircraft on routes and ensuring access to
affordable aviation fuel. The development of airport capacity, cargo terminals,
and warehouse logistics was also discussed. These measures are intended to
strengthen the country’s position as an international cargo hub along the
China–Kazakhstan–Western Europe route. In addition, solutions were considered

seaports of Aktau and Kuryk to European markets. In the railway sector, plans
include further modernization of infrastructure, increasing network capacity,
and improving tariff policy. Following the meeting, the Prime Minister issued a
