Kazakhstan to attract $2.1bln of private investment to build international air hubs
Vice Minister of Transport Talgat Lastayev has revealed the amount of funds Kazakhstan needs to build international air hubs in its territory.
Earlier, Kazinform reported that Kazakhstan plans to create six international air hubs on the ground of Astana, Almaty, Aktau, Aktobe, Karaganda and Shymkent airports.
As part of their modernization, five key measures will be launched to renovate infrastructure and facilitate logistics processes, Lastayev noted.
“To implement these projects, we plan to attract $2.1 billion of private investment,” he said at the Government’s meeting.
For instance, a full-fledged multimodal hub is set to be established in Aktau, which will be used for the transportation of cargo by aviation, automobile, railroad and maritime transport. The multi-modal hub will include a technical center for aircraft maintenance and repair, as well as a specialist training center.
