Air Astana adds another London connection
Air Astana, Kazakhstan’s flag carrier, will launch a new weekly flight between London Heathrow and Astana on October 29, bringing the number of services between Kazakhstan and the British capital to three per week.
The new Boeing 757-200 flights will complement the existing Almaty-London services as well as the existing daily Astana-Frankfurt services.
The new London rotations will mean that on Tuesdays the aircraft will fly Almaty-London-Astana-Almaty, on Thursdays the aircraft will fly Almaty-Astana-London-Almaty and on Saturdays directly between Almaty-London-Almaty.
Passengers wishing to travel between London and Astana on days other than when the direct services operate can utilise the daily services between Astana and Frankfurt and connect with partner airlines British Airways or Lufthansa between Frankfurt and London Heathrow.
The direct services from London to Astana will also enable UK originating passengers to connect to Air Astana international and domestic network services operating from Astana, which include Beijing, Urumchi, Tashkent, Bishkek, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Omsk amongst others.
Air Astana, which launched services between Almaty and London in December 2003, is a joint venture between Kazakhstan’s national wealth fund Samruk Kazyna and BAE Systems.
