Kazakhstan is taking another step toward establishing direct air service with the United States. Experts from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration are conducting an International Aviation Safety Assessment. This is an important step toward launching direct flights between the two countries. The U.S. experts are reviewing Kazakhstan’s legislation and regulatory framework, as well as its state aviation safety oversight system and the compliance of its aviation infrastructure with international ICAO standards. The assessment is part of a broader preparatory effort that has been underway since 2024.
«I think the best advantage for Kazakhstan is the location, the geographic location. This is the new hotspot, I think, in world aviation. This is like a really perfect situation to be where we're at now to establish Kazakhstan, Central Asia, as the aviation hub. We first go through several stages. One is we have to pass the United States Federal Aviation Administration assessment of our administration, our safety administration. When you reach Category 1, and it's a public announcement, well, the first thought is aviation safety. That also gives another source of information for leasing companies and investors,» said Michael Daniel, Chief Executive Officer of the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan.
