The civil aviation Committee of the REPUBLIC of Kazakhstan is actively working to expand air links with foreign countries and attract foreign airlines.
As part of this work, the Indian airline "SpiceJet" has passed the appropriate procedure and received a certificate of accreditation of a foreign air carrier in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
According to the designation of the Indian aviation authorities, SpiceJet has the right to operate up to 6 flights a week on the Delhi – Almaty – Delhi route. The airline plans to start operating regular flights on the above route on Boeing-737 aircraft.
The opening of this flight will contribute to the development of trade and economic relations between the countries, transit potential and the tourism industry of Kazakhstan. The number of transit passengers in 2018 increased by 45% (2017 – 620 thousand people) and amounted to 900 thousand people.
SpiceJet is an Indian budget airline that operates local and international flights. In addition to domestic flights, the company operates flights to Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Thailand, Sri Lanka, the UAE, Oman and the Maldives.
