A look back at the first delivery


Back in late September, FlyArystan took delivery of their first of the Airbus A320neo aircraft, registered EI-KBP.

The delivery of the first A320neo became exciting news, with both ACG and FlyArystan both giving comments.

Aviation Capital Group (ACG) Vice President Marketing for Central Asia, Middle East and Africa, Claudio Cheinquer, calls the delivery exciting, saying: “ACG is very excited to be a partner of Air Astana and FlyArystan in this momentous occasion.”

Vice President Claudio Cheinquer further added: “This is the airline’s first new A320neo from Airbus’ assembly line, and it marks a major milestone evidencing the airline’s successful growth trajectory.”

Managing Director of FlyArystan, Adrian Hamilton-Manns, commented on the announcement, saying: “FlyArystan is the first low-cost carrier in Central Asia. We operate more than 60 domestic and international destinations with a fleet of 11 A320s.”

“With the arrival of our 12th aircraft, our first new Airbus A320neo, FlyArystan will expand our route network and will offer affordable flights to a larger market.”

He further added: “The increased seat capacity from 180 to 188 seats per aircraft is the most significant eco-project in the FlyArystan profile. This new aircraft, which we have named Leo, will be the first of 7 committed A320neo Family aircraft and will start the era of young generation fleet.”

“The A320neo Family aircraft will enable us to lower fares and encourage more people to travel. It’s a very exciting time for FlyArystan.”
