Kazakh Transport Minister Nurlan Sauranbayev announced the opening period for the Kenderli airport, Qazinform News Agency reports.
According to Nurlan Sauranbayev, the facility is scheduled for commissioning next year.
“This year, we might be able to operate technical test flights eastward to Zaysan, but regular flights will begin next year,” the Minister said during the Senate briefing.
The head of the ministry also noted that the airfare pricing issue for Kenderli and Zaysan remains open.
“There are questions regarding subsidies from akimats interested in attracting tourists. This will influence negotiations with airlines,” he added.
