BAKU, Azerbaijan, Apr. 7
By Nargiz Sadikhova - Trend:
Wizz Air airline company is planning to launch flights on Abu Dhabi – Almaty and Abu Dhabi – Nur-Sultan routes, Trend reports citing the press office of Kazakh government.
The topic of launching flights was discussed during the meeting between the CEO of Wizz Air József Váradi and Kazakhstan’s Prime Minister Askar Mamin.
The parties also discussed the prospects for launching flights to Turkestan, Almaty and other cities of Kazakhstan, which are of interest to the international business and tourist community, as well as the organization of air cargo transportation to the most promising trade directions in the region and the world.
The Wizz Air company has also expressed interest in organizing the production of new generation aviation fuel in Kazakhstan - the so-called ‘sustainable aviation fuel’.
On Oct.19, 2020, Kazakhstan’s government decided to take several measures to battle the spread of coronavirus infection in the country.
Thus, the number of flights on international routes will be reduced starting Oct. 26, 2020, taking into account the epidemiological situation in foreign countries. Mandatory PCR testing of all arriving in Kazakhstan (including citizens of Kazakhstan), as well as drivers carrying out bilateral international transportation, will be conducted.
The validity period of the carried out PCR test for those arriving from abroad, including citizens of Kazakhstan, should be no more than 3 days.
The first two cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Kazakhstan among those who arrived in Almaty city from Germany on March 13, 2020.
