Kazakh transportation uses railway and paved and unpaved roads. Unpaved roads, made of unstable earth, are difficult to negotiate in wet weather. The Syr and Irtysh rivers are used as waterways. Gigantic pipelines and tankers (some foreign owned) carry Kazakh crude to Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union and the EU. Kazakhstan has 28 airports with paved and 421 airports with unpaved runways. Source: AngelFire

Air Astana
The airline’s mission has also remained constant, to provide quality domestic and international air services to the highest standards of safety and service using modern generation aircraft in order to serve and compliment the needs of Kazakhstan, one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Air Astana is the only airline in Kazakhstan to maintain its fleet to audited EU EASA 145 standards. In 2008 Air Astana was admitted to the register of the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA), one of a small number of airlines in the Commonwealth of Independent States to have achieved this.
