On May 19, Kazakhstan officially launched testing of a new mode of transport — the air taxi. The first demonstration flight is underway in Alatau City. An open area near Almaty, along a national highway, was chosen for the test trials. This is where the country's first vertiport, a specialized takeoff and landing site for eVTOL aircraft, is being built. In the future, this site will also host the UAM Center Eurasia and Kazakhstan's first full-fledged vertiport.
