Kazakhstan is a growing regional business aviation hub. The main airports are Almaty (UAAA) and Astana (UACC), both with business aviation terminals, as well as Atyrau and Shymkent.

How much does it cost to own a private plane?
Maintenance costs depend on the intensity of use and the aircraft class. When purchasing an aircraft, consider the following regular expenses:
- Crew and service personnel;
- Aviation fuel and navigation fees;
- Maintenance and insurance;
- Hangar storage and airport fees.
How to choose an aircraft when buying an airplane?
Choosing the right aircraft to purchase is based on key parameters:
- Capacity and comfort of the cabin;
- Flight range and route characteristics;
- Acquisition and operating budget.
Our specialists will offer the best business jet options with a detailed comparison of characteristics.
What should be considered when choosing a used aircraft?
When deciding to buy a private used aircraft, we recommend checking:
- Operation and maintenance history (Service bulletins (SB), Airworthiness directives (AD))
- Availability of complete documentation and certificates (See forms (Logbooks))
- No serious incidents in the past (See Logbooks)
- Quality of used spare parts and components (We check during the pre-sale inspection (PPI))
Where and how to register the aircraft?
Aircraft registration is typically carried out in international jurisdictions (Europe, the United States), which allows for tax optimization. The owner can independently choose the country of registration when purchasing a business jet.
Where and how to store the aircraft?
Regular piston-engine, inexpensive aircraft can be stored directly on the street, but business jets and expensive turboprop aircraft must be stored only in an airfield hangar.
How does an aircraft purchase transaction work?
The transaction includes aircraft selection and inspection, signing of a letter of intent (LOI) and contract, a pre-purchase inspection (PPI), payment through an escrow agent, and aircraft delivery. JetHunter assists at every stage and protects the buyer's interests.
