Canada’s Bombardier may start manufacturing railcars in Kazakhstan

(SRI) - Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Transportation is considering cooperation with Canada’s Bombardier in railway transportation and civil aviation, Interfax reported on Thursday.

“Canada’s Bombardier has submitted a proposal package for the construction of a plant to manufacture freight and passenger railway cars,” Serik Akhmetov, the Minister of Transportation said on Thursday at a meeting in Astana, according to Interfax.

“The CEO of Bombardier will come here around the 20th of September and he is ready to sign a number of very important documents relating to railway transport and civil aviation,” the minister said.

Akhmetov stressed that the most important task for the Kazakh civil aviation today is to buy new aircraft and upgrade the airports’ infrastructures.

Earlier this year Kazakhstan held talks with Bombardier and Brazil’s Embraer about the purchase of new regional aircraft and establishment of maintenance centers in Kazakhstan.
