Flights to this major Siberian industrial and transportation centre will be operated by Fokker 50 twice weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Flight KC279 departs from Astana at 07:55, arriving in Omsk at 10:30 local time. The return flight KC280 departs from Omsk at 11:30, arriving in Astana at 12:00 local time.

“Omsk becomes Air Astana’s seventh destination in Russia, with existing services already operating to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Samara, Kazan and Yekaterinburg. This new service will significantly boost business, cultural, educational and tourism links between the two cities and provide convenient onward connections to Air Astana’s growing number of domestic and international destinations served out of Astana and Almaty,” said Dmitriy Kaparulin, Regional General Manager, Russia and CIS. “Passengers on the new service will enjoy Air Astana’s Skytrax 4-star award winning service, with frequent fliers also benefiting from membership of the Nomad Club.”
