NUR-SULTAN, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Flights between Kazakhstan and Turkey will resume from Sept. 1, the Kazinform news agency has reported, citing the Turkish Transport and Infrastructure Ministry.
On June 20, flights between the two countries originally restarted but were suspended on July 4 due to a worsening epidemiological situation in Kazakhstan.
According to the Kazakh Civil Aviation Committee, the country will also gradually resume flights to the United Arab Emirates, Belarus, Germany, the Netherlands, Egypt, Ukraine, and Russia from Aug. 17.
