The new route was opened at the suggestion of airlines and Uzbekistan's air navigation provider, UzAeroNavigation.

Experts from KazAeroNavigation noted that the new air corridor will increase the attractiveness of Kazakhstan's airspace for foreign airlines and help reduce the workload on air traffic controllers at the South Kazakhstan Regional Air Traffic Service Center.
