While the first air taxi flights are expected by 2029, drone delivery services could become available to residents of Kazakhstan within the next few years.

Immediately following the air taxi flight demonstration, guests were shown the operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for delivery. The project utilizes technology from Keeta Drone (China) and A2Z (USA).

The UATM digital navigation platform was developed by Korea Airports Corporation and the Shenzhen Urban Transportation Planning Center.

Keeta Drone representatives showed guests a terminal resembling an outdoor automated parcel locker.

The principle is simple: a user orders food or other goods via an app, a drone delivers them to the terminal, and the person collects the order themselves.

It is worth noting that Vyacheslav Kim, a shareholder of Alatau City Bank and partner at AAAG, used the drone delivery system to order coffee during the event.

Vyacheslav Kim spoke about the project's significance and the new legal framework.

"On May 8, 2026, the Head of State signed the Constitutional Law 'On the Special Legal Regime of the City of Alatau.' This is a major milestone that solidifies the success of all previous efforts and creates a foundation for implementing initiatives such as the low-altitude economy—a high-tech sector that will define the future of the global economy. It is a great honor for me and my team to take a direct part in establishing Kazakhstan as one of the world's leading technological powers within the framework of the Head of State's strategic course," Vyacheslav Kim said.

He noted that thanks to government support, it was possible to create the UAM Center Eurasia urban air mobility center and attract international technology partners.
