Kazakhstan is enhancing its air transport infrastructure by constructing three new airports and upgrading terminals in Almaty, Shymkent, and Kyzylorda, increasing capacity and expanding routes.
Kazakhstan has begun building three new airports in the regions of Zaisan, Katon-Karagai, and the Kendirli resort area, according to the Kazakh Ministry of Transport, as reported by Kazinform News Agency.
“The implementation of these projects is expected to stimulate economic growth in these regions, attract domestic and foreign tourists, and generate additional employment opportunities for the local population. To support the development of major hubs, three new passenger terminals were commissioned in 2024 as part of the modernization of air transport infrastructure. The passenger terminals in Almaty, Shymkent, and Kyzylorda have undergone significant upgrades to their capacity,” the Ministry of Transport stated.
The newly constructed terminal at Almaty International Airport has boosted its annual passenger capacity from 2.5 million to 14 million. Domestic airlines, including Air Astana, SCAT, Qazaq Air, and Fly Arystan, serve 19 cities across Kazakhstan, while 30 foreign airlines operate international flights to 26 countries on 50 routes.
Shymkent Airport’s new terminal now accommodates 6 million passengers annually, a significant rise from 800,000. International routes have expanded to 10, with 24 weekly flights, including services to Jeddah, Medina, Doha, Phu Quoc, and Phuket.
Korkyt Ata International Airport in Kyzylorda has increased its capacity from 300,000 to 2 million passengers per year, with 25 domestic flights currently operating. Additionally, Shymkent plans to launch 14 domestic and 16 international routes.
