Kazakhstan, Luxembourg Triple Number of Weekly Cargo Transit Flights

ASTANA – Kazakhstan and Luxembourg signed a memorandum on regular air transportation to triple the number of cargo transit flights per week at an event held to mark the 77th flight by the Cargolux airline at the Astana International Airport on June 29, reported the Civil Aviation Committee’s press service.

According to Kazakh Minister of Industry and Infrastructure Development Marat Karabayev, the key agreement was to increase the number of cargo flights from Luxembourg from 7 to 21 a week. Flights that used to be charter now have become regular, he added.

“After France and Finland, Luxembourg is the third country with which we sign the fifth level of openness within the open skies policy,” he said.

The minister noted that this agreement opens up new opportunities for Kazakhstan’s aviation industry, positioning the country as a key transit hub between Europe and Southeast Asia.

New transit flights provide additional opportunities for Kazakh aviators’ professional growth and entrepreneurs, Karabayev said. The goods unloaded in Kazakhstan can find demand in the local market, while products loaded in Astana will go to Europe and Southeast Asia.
