The new regulatory system forms part of the initiative’s plan to enhance the country’s management of its air transport system.

CAAi International Development head Mattijs Smith said: “We are delighted to be working with our counterparts in Kazakhstan and our team is fully committed to supporting AAK.

The project’s first phase is scheduled to begin this month.
