ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 8. The Mazhilis
(lower house of the Parliament of Kazakhstan) has ratified an
agreement between the governments of Kazakhstan and Türkiye on the
transit of military equipment and personnel through the airspace of
both countries, Trend
reports via the Mazhilis.
The agreement aims to regulate the procedure for air transit of
military assets and personnel between the two states. It outlines
the conditions for using airspace, the mechanisms for issuing
permits, and the coordination procedures for flights.
Under the document, military transit will require the issuance
of a one-time permit and an annual diplomatic clearance number.
This framework is expected to optimize air transport and simplify
bilateral coordination.
Airspace usage will be carried out in accordance with the rules
of the International Civil Aviation Organization, national
legislation, and air navigation standards.
The agreement also establishes protocols for emergencies. In
case of force majeure during a flight, the aircraft may land at an
airport in the country whose airspace is being used. The host state
will ensure security and notify relevant authorities.
The document was signed on September 11, 2024, in Astana.
