Kazakhstan's Civil Aviation Soars, Welcomes ICAO President

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev welcomed Salvatore Sciacchitano, President of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), to Astana. The meeting discussed Kazakhstan's advancements in civil aviation and future cooperation with the ICAO.

Kazakhstan's civil aviation has seen significant progress, with a conformity rate of 82% in international ICAO standards, matching leading aviation nations. This has led to the introduction of an open airspace system, enabling direct flights to 28 countries, including 12 in Europe, 16 in Asia and the Middle East, and 1 in America.

The country's geographical reach has expanded continuously, thanks to new airports in Turkistan and Ulytau, and modernized terminals in Almaty, Shymkent, Kostanai, and Kokchetau. President Tokayev noted this expansion during the meeting.

Sciacchitano praised Kazakhstan's progress, highlighting its adoption of high international standards. He expressed his intention to visit Astana again next year. The discussion focused on the development of Kazakhstan's civil aviation and future cooperation with the ICAO. Kazakhstan has also decided to establish a permanent representation at the ICAO, though the future permanent representative has not been publicly announced yet.

Kazakhstan's civil aviation continues to grow, with improved infrastructure and expanded flight networks. The country's commitment to international standards has been recognized by the ICAO, and it aims to strengthen this relationship through future cooperation and a permanent representation at the ICAO.
