The event was attended by Galymzhan Yeleuov, Deputy Akim of Aktobe region, Dastan Maliyev, Chairman of the Aktobe Airport Board, and Ildar Shamsuddinov, General Director of KazMunaiGaz-Aero LLP.
In his Address to the people of Kazakhstan, the Head of State set tasks to develop the transit potential of the country. The project of construction of a new fuel and refueling complex by KazMunaiGas-Aero LLP, a subsidiary of KazMunaiGas, is aimed at their fulfillment.
The new fueling complex is a pilot project in Kazakhstan, implemented at a regional airport. At the new fueling complex, along with aviation fuel RT, TS-1, it will be possible to use Jet A-1 aviation fuel. The implementation of this project will give an impetus to the development of the region, will increase the competitive advantage of the airport, and will contribute to a significant increase in the transit potential of our country.
The first stage includes the construction of a mobile fuel filling station (on wheels) with a capacity of 600 cubic meters of aviation fuel and the purchase of two refueling trucks.
The second stage includes the construction of a stationary tank farm for 20,000 cubic meters, a loading and unloading rack, a dispatch center and other facilities.
The complex will meet all international safety standards, provide a high level of quality fuel service for air carriers, and create new jobs for the region’s residents.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2026.
