We believe that there will be more flights in the future. Turkistan will become an important destination due to its diverse features and spiritual values. The fact that it is the spiritual capital of the Turkic world further increases its importance. In cooperation with Wizz Air in Turkey, we have also launched flights to Dalaman Airport, and the frequency of flights is increasing every year. We are glad to cooperate with Wizz Airline in Kazakhstan.“
