NEWS FLASH


The President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, has said the country is planning to launch flights to Slovenia. The remarks came following talks with his Slovenian counterpart NataÅ¡a Pirc Musar in Astana, who was accompanied by representatives from 26 Slovenian companies. President Tokayev noted, “There are many people in Kazakhstan who are very interested in visiting Slovenia, but they face certain problems. First of all, in obtaining a visa, and secondly, an important issue is the lack of flights. I think both governments should show interest and consider how to solve these problems. We already have plans to launch flights to Ljubljana”. Trade between Slovenia and Kazakhstan topped 163 million euros last year. Last September, Kazakhstan opened an embassy in Slovenia. Kazakhstan’s flag carrier, Air Astana, is the largest airline in Central Asia and the Caucasus region. Within the former Yugoslavia, it serves Podgorica on a seasonal summer basis.

    I think it's very well possible for Ljubljana to get those. Would be funny if they get flights to Kazakhstan before they get flights to the likes of Berlin

    A beautiful country, def. worth visiting. I hope they find a way of abolishing visas. But I would be surprised to see Air Astana in LJU with regular scheduled flights. Maybe they could start with charter flights?

      How can Slovenia abolish visas when it's part of Schengen?

      Well they could always consider leaving Schengen. It became a joke given how many border crossing in the EU are closed.

      Yes, that's why they can't fly to Russia.

      Yep, it's a double edged sword. On one hand they're probably the most reliable and effective airline in Central Asia, but do face restrictions.

      Air Astana is 49% owned by BAE. Not flying to Russia is supposedly about their insurance, but - of course - the Russians blame it on the British.

    Is question about LJU flights mandatory when visiting distant lands? Is there "ask one country to have flights to LJU" on a monthly to-do list for our government?

      President of republic is not part of the government, but obviously only the government and the president care about the connectivity. And yes. Its a mandatory part of any agenda, otherwise you could only fly non stop to FRA and MUC, if you asked Fraport.

    I'm looking for a cheap way to reach Kazakhstan from Italy, so this is going to be a good news.

    I also wish many kazakh tourists to come to my country.
