Partners plan air taxi services near Almaty
AutoFlight in Kazakhstan
China's AutoFlight demonstrated its V2000 eVTOL aircraft at Alatau near Kazakhstan's capital Almaty.

Kazakhstan’s Alatau Advance Air Group (AAAG) is expanding its plans to operate eVTOL aircraft made by Chinese start-up AutoFlight. On May 20, the companies signed a memorandum of understanding calling for the sale of 50 aircraft, including a mix of AutoFlight’s V2000 and V5000 models.

The deal is part of a broader plan to launch new air services in Alatau, a development near Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city. AAAG has financial backing from the Alatau City Bank. Earlier this month, the Kazakh government approved legislation to establish a high-technology cluster focused on the so-called low-altitude economy.
