The Number of Flights between Kazakhstan and Great Britain is Increasing

3361

On May 24-25, 2023 negotiations between the aviation authorities of Kazakhstan and Great Britain were held in London, DKNews.kz reports.

On the part of Kazakhstan, the delegation was headed by Chairman of the Committee of Civil Aviation of the Ministry of industry and infrastructure development of the Republic of Kazakhstan T. Lastayev. On the side of Great Britain Deputy Head of the Department of Transport D. Bevan.

According to the current agreements between the aviation authorities of the two countries Air Astana has been permitted to perform direct flights on the route Almaty - London - Almaty with a frequency of 5 flights a week until 15 June this year on a temporary basis.

The importance and complexity of the negotiations was due to the fact that the current agreements under which the flights of Air Astana were operated were expiring. In case no agreement was reached in the course of the negotiations, Air Astana would have been forced to cancel some of its Almaty - London flights.

As a result of the negotiations, the legal framework between the two countries has been strengthened and the number of permitted flights between Kazakhstan and the UK has been increased:

  • Between Astana and any point in the UK up to 7 times a week;
  • between Almaty and any point in the UK up to 7 times a week;
  • up to 7 cargo flights per week on an irregular basis, including 5 degrees of air freedom, according to the "open skies" regime implemented in Kazakhstan.

Based on the agreements reached, Air Astana plans to increase the number of flights to London to 7 flights per week by the end of this year.

Increasing the number of flights between Kazakhstan and the UK will accelerate the development of tourism, cultural, investment and business cooperation between the countries.
