Kazakhstan's national carrier, Air Astana, has now been granted permission to resume regular flights to Turkey after a Turkish court ruled that the impounding of Kazakh planes come to an end on Thursday night. The Kazakh planes were grounded on Thursday morning because of an $8 million debt by the Kazakhstan's National Bank to a Turkish citizen, Turgut Tirali.The court ruled that only the planes owned by the airline be grounded, but that planes rented could not be impounded.
