ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 13. In July 2025, airlines operating in Kazakhstan served 1.7 million passengers—a 12.9 percent increase compared to July 2024, Trend reports, citing Kazakhstan’s Bureau of National Statistics.
Along with the number of passengers, passenger turnover—a metric
that also takes into account travel distance—hit the nail on the
head, reaching a record high for any month in recent years. In
July, it hit the ground running with over 3.4 billion
passenger-kilometers, marking a 6.9 percent leap from the same
month last year.
The total number of passengers since the start of the year, along
with passenger turnover, has hit the nail on the head with record
highs for the period: over 8.9 million people and 17.6 billion
passenger-kilometers from January through July, showcasing
year-on-year growth of 7.3 percent and 8.9 percent, respectively,
the agency chimed in.
Moreover, the coffers from passenger transportation saw a nice
uptick, hitting 113 billion tenge ($208.4 million) in July, which
is a solid 15.6 percent leap compared to the same month last year,
even with the price hikes factored in. The outcome for the
seven-month stretch hits 500 billion tenge ($922 million), but when
you look at the year-on-year growth, it’s a different kettle of
fish: a mere +0.9 percent after taking price changes into
account.
