In 2017, Kazakhstan introduced its open sky policy for its aviation sector. It was introduced in the capital Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana) and over three years, Kazakhstan and foreign air carriers launched 19 new routes, which included Tokyo, Warsaw, Budapest and Helsinki.

Kazakhstan’s carriers plan to launch flights to large cities, such as Shanghai (2020), Singapore (2020) and New York (2021).

Kazakhstan has flight connections with 26 countries via 99 international routes (430 flights per week by 26 foreign and three Kazakh airlines).

There are plans to expand the policy at airports in Almaty, Shymkent, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Pavlodar, Kokshetau, Taraz, Petropavlovsk and Semey.

There are also plans to provide foreign airlines the fifth freedom flights to priority financial centres.
