The Ministry of Transport announced the construction of air harbors.
"In 2025, Kazakhstan began construction of three new airports in the resort areas of Zaysan, Katon-Karagay and Kendirli. The implementation of these projects will give impetus to the development of the economy of these regions, and will also contribute to the influx of both domestic and foreign tourists," the department said in a statement.

The distance from the construction site to the city of Zaysan is 25 kilometers.

The distance from the construction site to the village of Katon-Karagay is 38 kilometers. It was also specified that the construction of the Kendirli airport is planned 13 kilometers from the resort area of Kendirli.
