## Description

Eastern Kazakhstan's Abai Region moves its freight overland, and Ayaguz is a rail town first: it sits on the historic Turkestan-Siberian main line, and a new 297-kilometre railway from Ayagoz to Bakhty is under construction towards the Chinese border. No scheduled passenger or cargo airline service is confirmed at the local airport, and no reliable traffic or tonnage figures are published for it. Air freight for the district therefore routes through larger airports — Semey some 270 km north and Oskemen (Ust-Kamenogorsk) about 280 km north-east for regional traffic, and Almaty (ALA) roughly 600 km south-west as Kazakhstan's principal international air cargo gateway. Expect a road feeder leg of close to a day between Ayaguz and Almaty, which is why shipments are usually consolidated before they fly. Road access has improved recently, including the 415-kilometre Kalbatau-Maikapshagay highway opened in the Abai Region. Customs formalities follow Eurasian Economic Union procedure and are normally cleared in Almaty or at the Chinese border crossings rather than locally.
