There was some concern about Almaty because the Kazakh authorities were trying to move all international flights to Astana, to which BMed and various other European airlines didn't want to fly because demand to Astana is pretty low. However, it seems to have gone very quiet from the Kazakh side and for now, Almaty services continue and are expected to do so for the foreseeable future. It would be very surprising if BMed is dropping Almaty to replace it with Urumqi services as a pro-active move if there is no government pressure on it to do so.
