Kazakhstan’s Aviation Administration urged passengers to stay alert and reject suspicious offers before air travel. At an airport, responsibility for obeying the law rests not only with specialist services but also with every passenger.

Criminals may offer payment for taking an envelope, package or piece of luggage to another city or country. Carrying items without knowing what they contain can have serious legal consequences.

Passengers should not accept packages or belongings when their contents are unknown, even if the offer comes from someone claiming to know their relatives or promising a reward. They are also advised not to leave belongings unattended or let strangers access their luggage.

Extra caution is needed on international flights. Illegally moving goods or valuables across a national border may be treated as smuggling and can lead to several years in prison.

Anyone who finds a suspicious item or receives a questionable offer to carry a package should immediately contact airport police or aviation security staff.
