The airport continues to develop connections with major cities and countries, allowing passengers to travel on 11 routes, including regular and seasonal flights to Astana, Almaty, Aktau, Atyrau, Turkestan, Shymkent, Istanbul, Antalya, Sharm El Sheikh, Doha, Phuket. In particular, the number of flights to Sharm El Sheikh increased in 2024, thanks to the addition of new frequencies by Air Cairo and FlyArystan.

"Aktobe Airport is actively implementing infrastructure modernization projects to ensure increased cargo flow and improve the quality of passenger service. Priority projects include the modernization of the fuel complex, the construction of modern warehouse infrastructure, and the creation of a special economic zone covering the territory of the facility.

"To develop the airport in the international arena, we need to continue to modernize the infrastructure and introduce new technologies and solutions in the field of digitalization. It is important that all processes at the airport are as automated as possible and convenient for passengers. We need to actively work to create modern conditions for the growth of cargo flows, especially within the framework of the implementation of the cargo hub project.

How the JOLTAP project helped a resident of the capital turn his favorite hobby into a successful profession 21.02.2025
The JOLTAP project being implemented in Astana is particularly helpful for residents of the capital to master new specialties, improve their knowledge, and increase their income. Project graduate Akbayan Bolat told how JOLTAP helped him turn his hobby into a stable income, the official website of the city administration reports. Akbayan has worked in his specialty for more than 10 years. But after three maternity leaves and a long break, she could not return to the profession. Over the years - more than 12 years - she was engaged in sewing, gradually turning her hobby into a professional activity.“I was engaged in sewing as a hobby and received small orders in between. Over time, I realized that I wanted to develop in this field, so I decided to master the profession of a seamstress and fashion designer,” says Akbayan.She learned about the JOLTAP project from a neighbor who was studying SMM. After that, Akbayan went to the “Opportunity for All” modular point and signed up for sewing and clothing design courses.“I had previously attended online master classes. It has been proven that live training is more useful. It is important to ask questions to teachers, and they, in turn, will do everything to ensure that we master the material as well as possible,” says the resident of Astana.Akbayan noted the high professionalism of the teachers and the convenient format of training.“Even after the courses ended, the teachers did not stop helping us. In the lessons, we received the necessary, specific knowledge. The two-hour lesson flew by in an instant, and the two-week training turned out to be incredibly intense. I did not miss a single lesson, otherwise it would have been difficult to master all the material. I was completely focused on studying,” she recalled.After graduating, Akbayan began to actively work in the garment industry, accepting increasingly large orders. Now she designs various dresses and accepts orders from home. Recently, she completely updated her necessary equipment: she replaced household machines with industrial ones, which allowed her to fulfill wholesale orders.Now she plans to open her own studio.“The courses gave me a strong impetus. In just 15 days, I received knowledge that fundamentally changed my future. I believe that this project will develop not only in Astana, but throughout Kazakhstan,” said Akbayan.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/939505

32 illegally constructed stalls were demolished in the Esil district of the capital. Their owners often violate the requirements of land legislation, such establishments are reported by the official website of the capital's akimat.Illegally erected trading facilities not only violate land legislation, but also create a number of inconveniences for residents of the district.

Our main task is to put land relations in order and create a favorable and modern appearance of the city. However, some entrepreneurs unknowingly commit illegal acts. They are fined and explanatory work is carried out on legalization,” noted the advisor to the Akimat of the district, Kuralai Slyambekova.The Akimat of the Yesil district, together with authorized bodies, regularly inspects the territory and identifies illegal objects. At the same time, the owners are given instructions to voluntarily remove the objects, and if the requirement is not met, they are taken away.Let us recall that illegal possession of state land plots is an administrative offense. In accordance with Article 136 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, for violations: • individuals - 75 MCI, • small business entities - 100 MCI, • large enterprises - 700 MCI. Entrepreneurs planning to establish a trade facility must first obtain the appropriate permits. To do this, you can contact JSC "SPC Astana".
