The negotiations took place in Tashkent at a conference of the China-Central Asia working group dedicated to cooperation in civil aviation. The Kazakh delegation was led by Saltanat Tompiyeva, Chair of the Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Transport of Kazakhstan, and the Uzbek delegation by Dzhamolidin Nazarov, Head of the Air Transport Department of the Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan.
Participants explained the expansion of air traffic by the growing demand for flights and the intensification of business and tourist exchanges between the countries. It is expected that the new frequency limits will allow for an increase in supply on the most in-demand routes.
