AIR ASTANA GROUP LOOKS
TO LONG-TERM GROWTH
Air Astana Group has reported strong passenger growth in 2022, with 3.9 million passengers carried during the first seven months of the year, representing a 9% increase over the same period in 2021.
The network has continued to expand with the resumption of flights to destinations including London and Istanbul, together with the launch of new services to Greece. In the coming months, frequencies to Dubai, Delhi and Phuket will be significantly increased and services to Bangkok

“Air Astana has rapidly recovered despite an unprecedented series of operational challenges this year, with passenger traffic up 􏰄% and seat capacity up marginally between January and July compared to the same period last year,” said Peter Foster, President and CEO of Air Astana Group.
