ABSTRACT: This paper explores the impact of the Belt and Road Initiative on the air transport network in Central Asia, with a focus on Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The study uses a mixed-method approach to collect and analyze data from primary and secondary sources, including surveys, interviews, and statistical data. The results of the study suggest that the Belt and Road Initiative has had a significant impact on the air transport network in Central Asia, particularly in terms of increased connectivity, improved infrastructure, and greater economic integration. The study also identifies some challenges and limitations associated with the Belt and Road Initiative in the region.
