Today, in the Intymak Ordo, an agreement was signed between OJSC "Airports of Kyrgyzstan" and BBAM Aircraft Leasing & Management regarding the acquisition of two Airbus A321ceo aircraft for the country.
This stage was announced by the press service of the government, where the chairman of the board of OJSC "Airports of Kyrgyzstan," Manasbek Samidinov, and the CEO of BBAM Aircraft Leasing & Management, Steve Zissis, signed the document.
"I thank you for the support that has been provided for the implementation of initiatives to modernize our air fleet. The aviation industry has developed fragmentarily due to a lack of systemic support. However, in recent years, significant changes have been observed. The strategic decision of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, Sadyr Japarov, to create the State Agency for Civil Aviation under the Cabinet of Ministers has marked the beginning of a new era for aviation," emphasized Kasymaliev.
"According to the audits conducted by ICAO in 2023-2024, it has been confirmed that Kyrgyzstan's aviation system meets international standards. The effectiveness of aviation security was 85.76%, which is a significant improvement compared to previously recorded results. These achievements create conditions for the exclusion of Kyrgyzstan from the EU Safety List. A final audit from the European Commission is expected in the coming days, which will be an important step towards this goal," he added.
The delivery of the Airbus A321ceo aircraft is scheduled for the end of 2026 and is aimed at supporting the national airline "Asman Airlines," which is a subsidiary of "Airports of Kyrgyzstan." This will improve passenger comfort, enhance flight safety, and expand routes, thereby strengthening the country's position in international aviation.
