Today the SCAT airline fleet has replenished with a new aircraft. The carrier purchased a modern Boeing-737 MAX 8 with a capacity of 174 seats, with a business class option. Until mid-September, it is planned to receive 4 more Boeing-type aircraft. In general, the fleet of this airline will be increased to 27 aircraft.
It should be noted that, given the fact of increasing demand for air transportation, it became known that the Kazakhstani aircraft fleet will be replenished by 51 units by 2025.
The increased passenger traffic in air transport has affected the chain of flight delays, which causes fair criticism from the population. “After analyzing the current situation, in order to promptly resolve the issue, I instructed Kazakh air carriers to purchase new aircraft. Thus, by the end of the year, 14 new aircraft with a total capacity of 2.5 thousand seats will be put into operation. In particular, the aircraft fleet of SCAT airline will be replenished with 9 aircraft, Fly Arystan - 3, Air Astana - 2. I believe that these measures will significantly increase the carrying capacity," Minister of Industry and Infrastructure Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kairbek Uskenbaev said on his Instagram page.
