More than a dozen new flights will be launched from Kazakhstan

New flights to Doha, Ankara, Medina, Baku and Dushanbe will be opened by the spring-summer season, the Ministry of Culture and Sports reported on Wednesday.

The number of flights to Istanbul, Tbilisi, Phuket, Male, Delhi, Chengdu, London, Heraklion and Podgorica will also increase.

"Thanks to this, foreign guests who plan to visit our country have even more opportunities to visit Kazakhstan. Negotiations with foreign partners on the launch of new routes are held regularly. For example, last year 10 new destinations were opened in 7 countries," said Dastan Ryspekov, Chairman of the Tourism Industry Committee of the Ministry of Culture and Sports.

Moreover, not only the airports of Almaty and Astana, but also the air harbors of Shymkent, Aktau and Turkestan will be involved.

A number of foreign airlines are also planning to establish flights with Kazakhstan. For example, the Malaysian low-cost airline Air Asia X is going to launch a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Almaty, and the Thai carrier Thai Air Asia is going to launch a flight from Bangkok to Almaty.

The Iranian company Qeshm Air plans to open a flight on the route Almaty – Tokyo. Oman's SalamAir has been launching a flight from Muscat to Almaty since July 1, the ministry said.
