The collaboration between Hahn Airport (HHN) and Aktau International Airport (SCO) opens up new opportunities for the cargo industry and the expansion of trade routes between Europe and Asia. In this comprehensive overview, you will learn how this cooperation can contribute to strengthening infrastructure, security, customer services and operational technologies and what prospects this brings for international air cargo traffic.

Strengthening freight connections through cooperation

The collaboration is primarily aimed at developing and expanding the potential in the area of ​​air freight traffic between the two airports. Two cargo flights were successfully completed at the beginning of the partnership, and further flights are planned and illustrate the promising capacities in trade and logistics. The region around Hahn Airport benefits from its 24/7 operating license, which is only offered by a few airports in Germany. This unrestricted operational readiness ensures flexible and efficient handling of freight and enables needs-based coordination with global production and logistics centers.

Aktau International Airport is distinguished by its strategic location in the Mangystau region, the only region of Kazakhstan with access to the Caspian Sea. This position gives the airport the potential to establish itself as a transit cargo hub between Europe and Asia. In addition to its geographical importance, Aktau offers a customs and border inspection point available 24/7, which ensures quick and uncomplicated clearance of goods. The planned rail connection will also improve multimodal connections, which is essential for the growing transport requirements between the two regions.

Prospects for trade and the economy between Germany and Kazakhstan

A central ambition of the cooperation is to significantly expand trade relations and economic ties between Germany and Kazakhstan. Hahn Airport, which is considered a key location in the European Union due to its 24/7 operating license and optimal location, is ideally suited to serving industrial and logistical centers in Europe.

The Mangystau region, with access to the Caspian Sea, acts as a new network center for the transit of goods on trade routes between continents. In particular, the planned rail connection at Aktau Airport will improve the connection to the rail network and further increase the potential for multimodal transport. This will be of considerable importance for the establishment of sustainable, innovative and efficient transport chains in air freight.

In addition, this collaboration also strengthens the position of both airports as important employers and economic drivers in their regions. The prospects created for new freight connections and business areas contribute to the long-term stabilization and expansion of the air transport industry.
