FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Scruffy and often dirty, Soviet-era planes sitting on runways and airfields
across Central Asia are instantly recognisable.
The most well-known are Antonovs, Tupelovs and Yaks, all named after their
designers. Antonovs are often powered by twin turbo propellers while
Tupelovs and Yaks typically carry two or three jet engines at the rear of
their thin fuselages.
Kazakhstan is the richest of the Central Asian states and it has already
ploughed billions into boosting its aviation industry.
In 2001, the Kazakh government established Air Astana with BAE Systems,
formerly British Aerospace. The company now owns 26 modern airplanes and
operates on more than 50 domestic and international routes and earlier this
year Air Astana announced it had ordered seven new Boeings for £835 million.
Mr Zhumagaliyev said that more investments were planned to replace the
Soviet-era planes.
“In the next eight years, we will purchase up to 40 planes, not only for Air
Astana, the national air carrier, but other companies too,” he said.
