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.
