Air Astana posts Q1 revenue growth
Air Astana saw total revenue and other income increase more than 10% in the first quarter that ended 31 March 2025.
Revenue was $292.4 million and EBITDAR increased 37.1% to $59.9 million.
It said unit revenues continue to be managed ahead of unit costs, extending the positive trend from Q4 2024.
Group passengers carried (on Air Astana and FlyArystan) increased 7.1% to two million with average load factor up slightly to 81.5%.
Peter Foster, CEO of Air Astana Group, said: “It has been a positive start to 2025 as the Group added popular new routes, increased carrying capacity and improved profitability.”
“Our network is growing with 15 new routes launched in 2025 to several popular business and lifestyle destinations. These flights have been added where demand is strongest, building on the 21 new routes launched last year.”
Last month, the airline celebrated 20 years of connecting Kazakhstan and India with a new service from Almaty to Mumbai.
Following the recent launch to Guangzhou, Air Astana is adding a fifth destination in China, Yining (Kuldja).
In addition, it signed a MoU with China Southern Airlines for a comprehensive codeshare agreement.
The Group is exploring further strategic partnerships to expand its presence.
The fleet has been expanded to 60 aircraft with the delivery of five A320 family aircraft in 2025.
In addition, two of the three remaining E2 aircraft have now been phased out.
The Nomad Club frequent flyer programme was revamped in 2024 with a spend-based accrual and integrated with the new website (and soon app) to offer a seamless experience,” Foster added.
Due to supply issues at Boeing, the delivery of the first 787-9 aircraft has been pushed back to the second half of 2026.
