FlyArystan, Kazakhstan’s low-cost airline and part of the Air Astana Group, is continuing its expansion into international markets with the launch of new services to India and Central Asia in the coming months.
The airline currently operates a fleet of 16 A320 aircraft and plans to add two more Airbus A320neo aircraft to its fleet by the end of 2023 to support its ambitious international network expansion.
New routes – New Delhi and Dushanbe
One of FlyArystan’s notable upcoming routes is from Almaty to New Delhi, scheduled to commence in late September. This marks the airline’s second service to India, with flights from Shymkent to New Delhi having been launched in May 2023.
In addition to India, FlyArystan currently offers services from Kazakhstan to various destinations, including Azerbaijan, Georgia, Qatar, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, China, the UAE, and Uzbekistan.
FlyArystan is set to expand further by initiating operations between Astana and Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, in October.
The airline is also evaluating the possibility of launching new services to destinations like Abu Dhabi (UAE), Oman, and Saudi Arabia as part of its next stage of network expansion.
