Air Astana is expanding operations in the United Arab Emirates with an additional service to Dubai along with adding Abu Dhabi to its flight network.
“Air Astana is delighted to further boost its presence in the Middle East, with new services to Dubai and Abu Dhabi reflecting the rapid growth in business and leisure traffic between Kazakhstan and the region,” said Yerbolat Baisalykov, senior vice-president of revenue management and commercial planning at Air Astana.
Baisalykov continued: “In particular, the introduction of a new Atyrau to Dubai service will contribute to wider economic development in western Kazakhstan by enhancing connectivity with important business and tourist centres in the Gulf.”
