ASTANA, Kazakhstan, February 12. Kazakhstan's KTZ Express JSC (a subsidiary of Kazakhstan Railways) has organized the dispatch of three container trains from China (Xi'an) to Azerbaijan (Absheron station) and Georgia (Poti/Tbilisi station) from the beginning of February 2024, Trend reports.
Hereto, KTZ Express provides high-quality and timely delivery of goods along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR, or Middle Corridor).
One of the advantages of the company’s service is the delivery time, which ranges from 12 to 15 days in transit through the territory of Kazakhstan from China to countries such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, Türkiye, etc.
Meanwhile, since the beginning of the year, 13 container trains have already traveled along the route in this direction.
Furthermore, the Middle Corridor is a transportation and trade route that connects Asia and Europe, passing through several countries in the region. It is an alternative route to the traditional Northern Corridor and Southern Corridor.
The route starts in China and crosses Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. It then passes through the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Türkiye before reaching Europe.
The Middle Corridor offers a land route that connects the eastern parts of Asia, including China, with Europe, bypassing the longer maritime routes.
