Air Astana Group conducts six year and twelve year C-checks for the first time

Astana, 13th October 2025:

Air Astana Group is simultaneously conducting 6-year and 12-year C-Check on Airbus A320 aircraft for the first time. The complex maintenance procedure is being carried out at the Engineering centre in Astana.

Both procedures are among the most complex types of maintenance requiring almost complete disassembly of the aircraft followed by test flights to confirm full serviceability. These inspections cover all aircraft systems, with the 6-year C-Check limited the standard depth of inspection and the 12-year C-Check including expanded inspection of structures and components.

Conducting such specialist inspections require highest level of qualification for engineering and technical staff, and compliance with international aviation safety standards.

Since 2019, Air Astana has independently performed 42 C-Checks based at the Engineering centres of Almaty and Astana, including the first 6-year C-Check in 2023 and first 12-year C-Check in 2024. The current simultaneous 6-year and 12-year C-Checks are respectively being undertaken on an Air Astana Airbus A321neo and a FlyArystan Airbus A320ceo.
