Air Astana serves cities across Kazakhstan, Central Asia, Asia, China, Europe and Russia with a fleet mix of Boeing 757, 767, and Airbus A320 family aircraft. The airline launched FlyArystan to serve the growing domestic market and intends to extend international services to Moscow starting in December.
“Since its launch in May this year, FlyArystan has exceeded all expectations and it is clear that low cost air travel has a great future in Kazakhstan and Central Asia,” said Peter Foster, President and CEO of Air Astana. “Air Astana has had a strong relationship with Boeing ever since the airline started flying in 2002 with a pair of 737NGs. Today we operate both 757s and 767s and we believe that the MAX will provide a solid platform for the growth of FlyArystan throughout our region, once the aircraft has successfully returned to service.”
FlyArystan currently operates with a fleet of three A320 aircraft. Air Astana has previously made a commitment to the competing A320neo, and took delivery of its first A321LR, on lease from Air Lease Corporation, this September.
