Nordwind Airlines, Chief Commercial Director, Anton Mattis said the flights are in high demand. “Historically, the demand for air travel between cities in Kazakhstan and Russian Kaliningrad is high, because the region is home to a large number of Kazakh diasporas. There is also a demand for flights for business and tourism purposes. We are confident that new transport opportunities will not only contribute to the development of business in the Russian region but also help Russians from different regions of Russia discover Central Asia. Universities, students, and teachers will receive additional resources to develop educational exchanges, and tourists will have new routes.”
