More than 1.4 billion tenge from the national budget in 2019 is planned to be sent to subsidize the flight Nur Sultan - Tokyo, according to the reference materials for the plenary session of the Senate of the Parliament, Interfax-Kazakhstan writes.

This information was confirmed by Vice-Minister of industry and infrastructure development Kairbek Uskenbayev.

 "At the initial stage – as this is a trial route - while business structures have not yet begun to fly, tourist routes are not worked out, support is needed. This is a world practice," he commented to journalists on the inclusion in the list of expenses of the Republican budget for 2019, subsidizing the Nur-Sultan - Tokyo flight.

Earlier it was reported that a direct flight between Kazakhstan and Japan can be opened in 2019.
