On March 26, 2025, in the city of Astana, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan received a new, modern L-410 NG medium-range turboprop aircraft with financial support from Industrial Development Fund JSC. The aircraft handover ceremony was attended by the Minister of Emergency Situations, Chingis Arinov. The high-tech aircraft, manufactured in the Czech Republic, will carry out interregional flights and perform rescue operations.
Equipped with advanced medical facilities, the aircraft features six standard stretchers and four specialized "Biohazard" infection control stretchers, ensuring the safe and efficient transportation of patients. Additionally, it is outfitted with 19 passenger seats, enhancing its versatility for various operational needs.
With a flight range of 6,500 km and a maximum cruising speed exceeding 400 km/h, the L-410 NG is a powerful asset for emergency response teams, enabling rapid deployment to disaster-stricken areas.
This delivery is part of a broader initiative, with three more similar aircraft set to be delivered to the Ministry of Emergency Situations throughout 2025, further strengthening the country’s disaster response fleet.
The procurement aligns with the strategic priorities outlined in the Address of the Head of State, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, "Fair Kazakhstan: Law and Order, Economic Growth, Public Optimism", which highlights the need to develop aerohubs and modernize the aviation sector. To support this vision, Industrial Development Fund JSC has planned leasing financing for small aviation in 2025 to upgrade the country’s aircraft fleet.
It is noteworthy that in 2024, with the financial backing of Industrial Development Fund JSC, four aircraft were successfully procured to support the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Rescue operations demand speed and efficiency, where every second is crucial. The addition of these cutting-edge aircraft enhances Kazakhstan’s ability to respond swiftly to emergencies, ensuring that help reaches those in need without delay.
