Unmanned aerial vehicles worth more than half a billion tenge have been stored in a storage facility at Nur-Sultan airport since 2013.

Transport prosecutors again found goods in temporary storage warehouses (hereinafter referred to as SVH) that could have long been of benefit to both citizens and the state.

Thus, the aviation transport prosecutor's office of Nur-Sultan found unmanned aerial vehicles in the amount of 3 pieces and a balloon together with component parts at the SVH of the customs post "Astana Auezhay".

As the subsequent prosecutor's check showed, these devices, worth 548,686,648 tenge, were placed there in 2013, as the recipient refused the cargo.

According to the preliminary conclusion of specialists, the equipment is still suitable for operation and can be used in civil aviation.

However, since 2013, the authorized bodies have not taken any measures to recognize them as ownerless and turn them into state revenue.

According to the claim of the aviation prosecutor's office, the decision of the Esil District Court of Nur-Sultan, the unmanned aerial vehicles and the balloon were recognized as ownerless and turned into state revenue.

Thus, the state received equipment worth more than half a billion tenge.

Currently, transport prosecutors are taking further measures to audit the SVH aimed at replenishing the state budget and rational use of goods stored there for a long time.
