ACGC continues to strengthen its presence in Central Asia, highlighting the region’s growing importance as a strategic logistics hub connecting Europe and Asia.
Central Asian routes are gaining significance due to evolving geopolitical conditions, airspace restrictions, and ongoing infrastructure development. Increasing demand for multi-leg routings from China to Europe via Central Asia is particularly evident in charter operations, e-commerce, and general cargo flows.
The recent visit of Business Development Director Aleksandr Zagorodniuk to Almaty underlines Kazakhstan’s expanding role as both a transit bridge and a growing consumer market linked to Europe. In 2025, more than 600 tons of cargo were transported via Central Asia from China to Europe, while over 500 tons were delivered from Europe to destinations across Central Asia. Early indicators for Q1 2026 confirm continued growth and strong potential in the region.
During the visit, meetings were held with local customers and regional logistics partners to strengthen cooperation and explore new business opportunities.
“We held meetings with our partners, aiming to expand collaboration, enhance service capabilities, and develop new business opportunities in fast-growing cargo markets,” commented Aleksandr Zagorodniuk.
The visit also included discussions with Almaty International Airport regarding cargo handling capabilities and the development of reliable routing solutions via Almaty. The airport’s ability to handle a wide range of cargo types — including oil & gas equipment, e-commerce shipments, pharmaceuticals, electronics, dangerous goods such as lithium batteries, and live animals — creates additional opportunities for customers.
The growing activity in early 2026 demonstrates the effectiveness of ACGC’s strategy in developing new logistics corridors and reinforces its position as a reliable and scalable partner across Asia–Europe and Central Asia trade lanes.
