Air Astana resumes scheduled flights from Almaty and Nur-Sultan to regional centres across Kazakhstan on May 11, following the end of the national state of emergency.

Services to Aktobe and Kyzylorda from Almaty and Nur-Sultan will re-start on May 12 and 13 respectively, whilst flights to Oskemen from Almaty and Nur-Sultan will restart on May 13 and 14 respectively.

The move has been part of a gradual rebuilding of the Skytrax four-star airline after a near-complete suspension on all flights due to the coronavirus epidemic. The carrier and its low-cost subsidiary FlyArystan had suspended scheduled flights in March to curb the spread of the virus and began returning to its original network of scheduled flights with the re-commencement of flights between the Kazakh commercial capital Almaty and the political capital Nur-Sultan starting on May 1, 2020.

All fights will be operated in full compliance with all precautionary health requirements before flying, including the provision of a negative COVD 19 test, the obligatory wearing of masks by both passengers and crew, and cabin disinfection after each flight.

All flights will be operated by Airbus A320/A321 and Embraer E190-E2 aircraft. Flights to more cities across the country will resume as soon as local airports re-open. For ticketing issues and flight information go to the airline’s website.
