Air Astana has announced the gradual resumption of regular services between Kazakhstan and Dubai, restoring flights from Almaty beginning June 20, 2026, and from Astana starting July 10, 2026.
The carrier said all services will operate via Pakistan due to the continued closure of Iranian airspace. The alternative routing has been implemented to ensure the safety and reliability of operations.
The return of services will be phased in over several weeks as the airline rebuilds capacity on one of its key international routes.
Almaty–Dubai Schedule
Flight frequencies from Almaty will increase as follows:
-
June 15–21: Two weekly flights (Saturday and Sunday)
-
June 22–28: Four weekly flights (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday)
-

Air Astana is also providing additional flexibility for affected travelers. Passengers whose tickets were previously rebooked for departures through July 31, 2026, may switch to an earlier flight at no additional charge. Eligible travel dates begin June 20 for departures from Almaty and July 10 for departures from Astana.
The airline said it will continue to closely monitor developments in the region and may make further schedule adjustments if operational conditions require. Customers will be notified promptly of any changes to their bookings.
