The German company “Linding Group” is set to invest about $10 million in assembling airplanes in Almaty, pending necessary permits from the government.
Based in the economic zone “PIT ‘Alatau”, production will begin in 2026. During the first year, 20 airplanes will be assembled, rising to 50 units annually thereafter.
Kazakhstan is already engaged in several joint projects with foreign enterprises in aircraft production. One such project involves the “Russian Helicopters” company. Within the framework of the agreement with Kazakhstan’s aircraft repair plant No. 405, a large-unit assembly of Mi-8AMT and Mi-171E helicopters was launched in Almaty, predominantly serving the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the National Guard of Kazakhstan.
A further example of international cooperation is the contract between the Ural Civil Aviation Plant and Kazakhstan Aviation Industry (KAI) to produce the Baikal multi-purpose airplane. When fully assembled by the end of this year, the airplanes will be delivered to markets in Europe and Africa.
The realization of all of these projects will both strengthen Kazakhstan’s aviation industry and increase its presence in international aviation markets.
