Air Astana Launches Flights to Orenburg

Kazakhstan’s Air Astana has launched a new non-stop flight from Astana to Orenburg in southern Russia.

The new service will connect Kazakhstan’s capital with one of the major cities of the south Ural region on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. The two hour-flight will be operated on Embraer E-190 in a two class, 97 seat configuration.

“The new service between Kazakhstan’s capital and Orenburg will allow the largest Kazakh diaspora in Russia, business executives and government officials to travel direct and comfortably between the two countries. The continuing expansion of direct services from Astana is part of the airline’s strategy to develop Kazakhstan as the leading transit hub for Eurasia,” said Ibrahim Canliel, SVP Sales and Marketing, Air Astana.

Orenburg becomes Air Astana’s ninth new destination to be launched over the past 30 months and the eleventh service into the Russian Federation. Air Astana already operates flights from Almaty, Astana and Atyrau to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Omsk, Samara and Novosibirsk.
