FlyArystan Launches Flights from Almaty and Nur-Sultan to Turkistan

(31 Oct 2021) FlyArystan, the LCC of Air Astana, has launched flights between Nur-Sultan, the capital city formerly known as Astana, and Turkistan in southern Kazakhstan.

The airline will operate the route with two flights per week on Tuesdays and Fridays using Airbus A320 aircraft.

From 5 December, the airline will also launch two flights per week between Almaty and Turkistan. Flights are scheduled to take off on Mondays and Saturdays.

“Turkistan is a spiritual capital of Kazakhstan, which is visited annually by thousands of tourists,” said Air Astana Group President, Peter Foster. “With the opening of the Turkistan International Airport, and the launch of flights on safe and modern FlyArystan aircraft, the landmarks of the ancient Silk Road such as the mausoleum of Ahmet Yassawi, the mausoleum of Arystan Baba, the town of Otrar, the cave of Ak Meshit, Kara Ungir waterfalls and many other historical places will become more accessible. We encourage more tourists to discover the amazing beauty and heritage of Kazakhstan.”

Huseyin Arslan, Chairman of the YDA Group, said, “Turkistan International Airport was built in just 11 months and has become the second project successfully implemented by YDA Group in Kazakhstan. In 2007, YDA Group built and set in operation an airport in Aktau. We believe our brand-new airport will contribute to development of tourism and prosperity of the Turkistan region and Kazakhstan.”
