FlyArystan Reports First Year Load Factor of 94%

FlyArystan, a division of Air Astana, has carried 700,581 passengers on more than 4,000 operated flights in the 8 months since its launch on 1 May 2019.

FlyArystan's load factor over the same May to December period was 94%, with the on-time performance of flights over the same period being more than 90%.

FlyArystan commenced operations with two Airbus A320 aircraft based in Almaty, Kazakhstan. In October and December, a further two A320 aircraft were added to the fleet with a new aircraft base in the capital Nur-Sultan commencing at that time.

FlyArystan finished the year with 13 routes to a total of 10 destinations, one of which is the airline's first international service from Nur-Sultan to Zhukovsky (Moscow).

Tim Jordan, Head of FlyArystan, said, “We shall be growing our fleet from 4 to 10 aircraft in 2020. That will certainly allow us to continue our rapid growth and to bring our low fares and new routes to many more cities across Kazakhstan and the Central Asian region. We will also be opening at least two new aircraft bases in both Karaganda and Aktobe in 2020 and we look forward to adding more in the future.”
