In all fairness the talk is about IOSA registration, which Kazakstan authorities have decided to make mandatory at some stage. It doesn’t really mean much , for example Ryanair has no IOSA registration (or at least haven’t had until very recently). It is more like the rules of the game for IATA carriers rather than safety on its own.
