ASTANA, Kazakhstan, January 21. Kazakhstan is
reducing the price of jet fuel supplied “into-wing” as part of
efforts to develop aviation hubs, Minister of Energy Yerlan
Akkenzhenov said at a government meeting, Trend reports via the Kazakh government.
According to Akkenzhenov, the ongoing efforts align with the
directives issued by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev during the
fifth session of the National Kurultai. At the meeting, it was
highlighted that jet fuel prices in Kazakhstan remain excessively
high and uncompetitive in comparison to those at airports in
neighboring countries.
In response to the president’s instructions, and as part of the
broader strategy to develop aviation hubs, the "into-wing" price of
jet fuel has been reduced from $1,200 to $940 per ton, with plans
for a further targeted reduction to $890 per ton, Akkenzhenov
reported.
He emphasized that this price adjustment has enhanced the
competitiveness of domestic airports and contributed to an increase
in the number of international flights, including those operated by
Air Atlanta, Hungary Airlines, and One Air. The efforts in this
area will continue.
The term “into-wing” refers to the final price of jet fuel
delivered directly into an aircraft's fuel tanks.
