Start-up carrier saves Kazakhstan’s passenger business from stagnation
Although Kazakhstan’s airlines collectively enjoyed a timid traffic growth last year, it is primarily the nation’s LCC FlyArystan which can take the credit for the improvement. Traffic through the country’s airports also increased in 2019, but the growth came mostly from foreign, not local airlines. Overall last year Kazakhstan’s airlines collectively carried some 8.6m passengers, a 9% improvement (or 700,000 more) on the results of 2018, according to the Civil Aviation Committee. The growth rate is the country’s second highest in the previous 5-year period, following on from the 23% surge in 2017, which was attributed to the introduction of an open-skies regime at the country’s capital Nur-Sultan (then Astana), and to the hosting of the 2017 global EXPO-2017 event. <br/>
