Three new airports are set to be constructed in Kazakhstan’s
resort areas of Zaisan, Katon-Karagai, and Kendirli. Earlier, President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed to unlock their potential and build terminal
complexes and airports. The implementation of the projects has already begun.
These airports will play a crucial role in ensuring access to the resort areas,
which will contribute to the influx of both domestic and international
tourists. Moreover, this will generate a multiplier effect on the economic
development of the regions.
«The parameters for the airports have already been defined:
2,200 meters in length, 35 meters in width, with a capacity of 150 passengers
per hour. They are designed for Q400 aircraft, which are operated by Qazaq Air,
enabling direct flights to Astana and Almaty in the future. The land plots and
locations for these airports have been identified, and work is underway to
formalize the land and develop the design and estimate documentation,» said Sarsen
Zharylgassov, Acting Chairman of the Civil Aviation Committee at the Kazakh
Ministry of Transport.
