Abstract. This article focuses on organizational measures to ensure aviation security during the launch of new international routes by Kazakhstani airlines. With the rapid expansion of Kazakhstan’s air transportation network, new destinations are often associated with emerging threats linked to geopolitical conditions, terrorism risks, and stricter requirements for passenger screening. The aim of the study is to identify, systematize, and scientifically substantiate organizational measures for aviation security, and to evaluate their effectiveness using the cases of Kazakhstani airlines Air Astana and SCAT. The methodology is based on the analysis of international (ICAO, EASA, IATA) and national (Civil Aviation Committee of Kazakhstan) regulatory documents, combined with qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods. The probability (P) and severity (C) of potential threats were assessed using the formula R = P × C. This approach enabled the comparison of international practices and the identification of the most effective measures, including enhanced pre-flight screening, adaptive staff training, and passenger behavior monitoring. The findings show that the most effective measures were integrated passenger flow control (93%) and systematic route risk analysis (90%). Comparative analysis demonstrated the importance of combining international standards with national regulations within a unified security management system. The scientific novelty of the study lies in developing a comprehensive framework for aviation security when introducing new routes. Its practical significance is reflected in the applicability of the results for airlines in planning international operations, reducing security risks, and ensuring compliance with global standards, thus supporting the safe growth of civil aviation in Kazakhstan.
