Kazakhstan carrier Air Astana has unveiled the first of 30 aircraft repainted to promote the airline’s partnership with Astana Expo 2017.
Air Astana is the official carrier of Astana Expo 2017 and the first Embraer E190 carries the Expo 2017 logo on both sides of its fuselage.
"The appearance of Astana Expo 2017 logos on Air Astana aircraft represents a very important step in developing the marketing campaign for the event. One of the most important goals for Astana Expo 2017 will be the development of inbound tourism to Kazakhstan, with the event expected to attract more than two million visitors from Kazakhstan and around the world," said Sergey Kuyanov, director of public relations for Astana Expo 2017.
"Astana Expo 2017 will strongly focus on the eco-friendly energy, with exhibitors in the fields of demand, innovation and practical solutions expected to take a high profile at the event," said Peter Foster, President & CEO of Air Astana. "For Air Astana, reduction of aircraft emissions is one of our highest priorities, which is reflected in our recent decision to acquire a fleet of Airbus A320 family NEO aircraft, whose new engine technology cuts emissions by 15%."
Air Astana plans to integrate flight schedules and reservations into the event’s official
website and will also collaborate together on PR and marketing activities.
All passengers arriving or in transit in will be given tickets to the exhibition in 2017.
