Air Astana CEO suggests 2nd airport construction in Almaty
Astana. January 10. Kazakhstan Today - The head of Air Astana company Peter Foster suggested constructing the 2nd airport in Almaty, KazTAG reports.
"We know this city very well, the airport location, and the problem, which will always exist," he said during the session of the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
He believes, "the only possible solution to this problem might be future consideration of construction of another airport."
"As you remember, the question about construction of the new airport to the north along the Kapchagay road was raised 10 years ago. Perhaps, now it is the right time to get back to this plan," he said.
Earlier, the deputies criticized the company for flights delay and untimely notification of passengers.
Air Astana is joint venture of Samruk-Kazyna SWF and English BAE Systems, sharing 51% and 49% stake correspondingly.
