Kazakhstan Expands Air Links with Armenia and Uzbekistan
Kazakhstan is continuing to strengthen its international air connectivity with the launch of new direct routes to Armenia and Uzbekistan, supporting the development of regional transport, tourism, and business ties.
According to the Ministry of Transport, Armenian carrier FlyOne Armenia entered the Kazakh market on June 12, launching scheduled passenger flights between Yerevan and Almaty. The route will operate twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays, increasing the total number of weekly flights between Kazakhstan and Armenia from three to five.
Officials noted that the new service is expected to facilitate the growth of trade, investment, tourism, and cultural cooperation between the two countries.
In addition, Uzbekistan’s Centrum Air is set to launch regular flights on the Tashkent–Kostanay–Tashkent route beginning June 13. The new service will connect northern Kazakhstan with the Uzbek capital and improve transport accessibility for the Kostanay Region.
According to airport authorities, the route is expected to create additional opportunities for business development, tourism, and regional cooperation. The inaugural flight will arrive at Kostanai International Airport named after Akhmet Baitursynuly.
