BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 15. KazMunayGas’s
subsidiary KMG Aero and Uzbekistan’s Centrum Air have signed an
agreement to provide in-plane aircraft fueling services at Kostanay
International Airport.
This was announced in a report published by KazMunayGas.
“Under the agreements reached, the airline is launching regular
passenger flights on the Tashkent–Kostanay–Tashkent route with a
frequency of once a week. KMG Aero will provide a full range of
aviation fuel supply services for the flights in accordance with
international safety and quality standards,” the report says.
According to KazMunayGas, attracting a new carrier became
possible through joint efforts by KMG Aero and Kostanay Airport
aimed at expanding the route network and strengthening transport
links between Kazakhstan’s regions and international
destinations.
The company added that similar work is underway together with
Aktobe International Airport to launch Centrum Air flights on the
Tashkent–Aktobe–Tashkent route. The airline is currently preparing
to complete the required approval procedures and obtain flight
permits to operate services to Aktobe.
Meanwhile, in May, KMG Aero and Uzbekistan’s national carrier,
Uzbekistan Airways, also signed an agreement on into-plane aircraft
fueling services.
KazMunayGas noted that expanding the presence of international
airlines contributes to passenger traffic growth, supports the
development of regional airports, strengthens business and tourism
ties, and enhances Kazakhstan’s investment appeal as a key aviation
hub in Central Asia.
