Your flight
is our responsibility

Kazakhstan has joined the global club of leaders in civil aviation. In an exclusive interview with Kazakhstanskaya Pravda, Zhanibek Sharipbayev, Executive Director for Aviation Security of the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan JSC, spoke about the steps already taken by the state and the complex challenges that still lie ahead.

Kazakhstan’s civil aviation sector recorded steady growth in 2025, driven by improvements in safety, passenger traffic and international cooperation. In September, Kazakhstan passed an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation security audit, achieving a 95.7% compliance rate with international standards. The result placed Kazakhstan among the world’s top 20 countries for aviation safety.

Passenger traffic in Kazakhstan continues to show steady growth, driven by fleet expansion, airport modernization, and the Open Skies regime, according to Adlet Kobenov, Head of the International Air Transport Regulation Department of the Civil Aviation Committee under the Ministry of Transport. In an interview with Qazinform News Agency, he outlined the country’s readiness to handle rising demand, priorities for route expansion, and Kazakhstan’s growing transit role between Europe and Asia.
