New airports to be built in Kazakhstan
By Trend
Some 16 new airports of regional importance are planned to be built in Kazakhstan within the next three years, Kazakh media reported citing Acting Deputy Chairman of the Civil Aviation Committee of Kazakhstan Tota Amirova Sept. 19.
"Kazakhstan has vast territories but cannot ensure a permanent link between tourism destinations and major cities of the country, because the local roads system is not developed. There is a problem of accessibility to tourism areas. Therefore, developing regional aviation is an important factor," Amirova said.
