Astana, 18th March 2026:
Air Astana is adding extra services from Almaty to popular destinations during the Nauryz holiday period in March. Nine extra frequencies have been added on the Almaty to Phuket route, whilst services to Phu Quoc in Vietnam have been upgraded from single aisle Airbus aircraft to widebody Boeing 767s, resulting in a 35% increase in seating capacity
“To mark the Nauryz celebrations, we are increasing flight frequencies to both regional and long-haul destinations, giving more passengers the opportunity to travel, visit family and friends, or spend the holiday abroad. These additional services will enhance schedule flexibility and convenience, enabling our passengers to plan their journeys with greater ease,” – says Ibrahim Canliel, Air Astana’s CFO/CEO-elect.
Frequencies have also been increased on other popular routes. In particular, 13 flights were added on the Almaty–Delhi service, while frequencies to London, Male, Istanbul, Tbilisi, and Tashkent have also been enhanced.
The expansion of the flight schedule will continue in April. The Astana-Frankfurt route will gradually increase from four weekly flights to a daily service by the end of the month. Additional frequencies will also be introduced on the Almaty to Phuket and Almaty to Bangkok routes.
