Kazakhstan has launched Central Asia's first air taxi, the V2000 Prosperity, in Alatau City, marking a significant step towards urban air mobility. The unmanned test flight was part of a €260 million investment in infrastructure. The aircraft, developed by AutoFlight, can carry six people and is designed for urban transport. The project aims to connect Alatau City with Almaty and other destinations, with plans for a network of vertiports. Legal frameworks and certification processes are underway to enable commercial operations by late 2028 or early 2029.
