Air Astana to Resume Astana - Dubai Flights

Kazakhstan’s Air Astana will re-launch flights between Astana and Dubai on 25 October 2015.

Air Astana’s Astana - Dubai service was suspended in October 2010 due to traffic / landing rights considerations.

The new non-stop flight will be operated four times per week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, using Airbus A320 aircraft.

The service to Dubai offers greater convenience to passengers located in the capital, Astana, as well as from cities including Kostanay, Pavlodar and Ust-Kamenogorsk. Additionally, timely connections will be offered to international transit passengers travelling from Urumqi (China), Omsk (Russia) and Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan).

“Air Astana is fully committed to expanding the route network from Astana, with the re-launch to Dubai following the recent introduction of new services from the capital to Paris, Seoul and Tbilisi,” said Peter Foster, OBE, President of Air Astana. “With Kazakhstan and UAE enjoying strengthening links in business, finance, tourism and culture, I’m confident that the new service will be extremely popular with passengers travelling between Astana and Dubai.”

The minimum cost of a round trip economy class ticket from Astana to Dubai, including all fees, is US$ 468 and a business class ticket is US$ 2,107 during low season and US$ 2,667 during high season. Tickets can be booked at the Air Astana website, where UAE visas can also be issued.
