According to Airports of Kyrgyzstan OJSC, during the negotiations, the parties discussed the launch of the new international cargo route that will connect Bishkek with European countries using a multimodal transportation scheme.

According to the project, cargo will be delivered by road to Kyrgyzstan, then processed and reloaded at Manas International Airport, and then sent by air to European recipients.

The project is expected to reduce delivery times between Asia and Europe, improve the efficiency of international logistics chains, increase air cargo volumes, attract new transit flows, create additional jobs, and generate additional revenue for the country’s economy.

One of the factors facilitating the development of cooperation with international logistics companies is the removal of the Kyrgyz Republic from the European Union’s aviation safety list.

Manasbek Samidinov, Chairman of the Board of Kyrgyzstan Airports OJSC, noted that the development of cargo aviation remains one of the company’s key areas of work.

«The Kyrgyz Republic will become a new logistics bridge between Asia and Europe. We are creating a modern transport and logistics infrastructure that will effectively integrate road and air transport, attract international cargo flows, and open up new opportunities for our country in global trade. The interest of large international companies like ZTO Express confirms Kyrgyzstan’s growing reputation as a reliable partner and a promising transport hub in the region,» he said.
