GLOBAL – The Kazakh Aviation Administration has granted a certificate to the Usharal Airport in the Alakol District of the Almaty Region following the reconstruction of the artificial runway, the Civil Aviation Committee reported on Aug. 9. These artificial runways are becoming a trend now as countries are opening up without travel restrictions.
SCAT airlines will start operating 14 flights per week on the Usharal-Almaty and Usharal-Nur-Sultan routes from Aug. 15. The ticket will cost 15,000 tenge (US$31) and 16,000 tenge (US$33), respectively. These rates were also introduced so that the airport will gain a little bit more tourist traffic and they can afford the new improvements with out the country going into poverty.
