BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 12

By Nargiz Sadikhova - Trend:

Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines will launch direct flights between Kazakhstan and Turkey, Trend reports citing Kazakhstan’s Civil Aviation Committee.

The flights will be carried out on the Turkestan – Istanbul, and Shymkent – Istanbul routes.

Thus, Turkish Airlines will launch flights on Turkestan – Istanbul – Turkestan route starting May 22, 2021. Initially, the flights will be carried out once a week with a probable increase in the future.

At the same time, Pegasus Airlines is looking to resume the operation of flights between the cities of Shymkent and Istanbul starting May 23, 2021. The flights on the route will also be carried out once a week.

On Oct.19, 2020, Kazakhstan’s government decided to take several measures to battle the spread of coronavirus infection in the country.

Thus, the number of flights on international routes will be reduced starting Oct. 26, 2020, taking into account the epidemiological situation in foreign countries. Mandatory PCR testing of all arriving in Kazakhstan (including citizens of Kazakhstan), as well as drivers carrying out bilateral international transportation, will be conducted.

The validity period of the carried out PCR test for those arriving from abroad, including citizens of Kazakhstan, should be no more than 3 days.

The first two cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Kazakhstan among those who arrived in Almaty city from Germany on March 13, 2020.
