BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 3.
Kazakhstan's KazMunayGas-Aero LLP (KMG-Aero), a subsidiary of
KazMunayGas, has signed an agreement with Vietnamese airline Sun
PhuQuoc Airways to provide aircraft refueling services at airports
across Kazakhstan, KMG said.
The agreement covers the airline's new direct routes
between Kazakhstan and Vietnam.
According to KMG, on October 25, 2026, Sun PhuQuoc
Airways launched flights on the Almaty-Phu Quoc route. Until
December 26, flights will operate three times a week using Airbus
A321 aircraft, after which their frequency is scheduled to increase
to five times a week.
The airline also plans to launch direct flights on
the Astana-Phu Quoc route from December 26, 2026. The flights are
scheduled to operate four times a week using Airbus A330
aircraft.
The cooperation is part of Kazakhstan's efforts to
strengthen its transport and logistics potential and develop the
country into a major Eurasian aviation hub, in line with the
instructions of the head of state.
In October 2026, KMG-Aero also signed an agreement
with U.S. airline National Airlines to provide aircraft refueling
services. The first flight under the agreement, a Boeing 777 cargo
aircraft operating on the Hong Kong-Turkistan-Amsterdam route, was
serviced at Turkistan International Airport on October 16.
KMG-Aero is a subsidiary of KazMunayGas that has been
operating in Kazakhstan's aviation fuel supply market since
mid-2014.
