Air Astana to expand Asian network

AIR ASTANA is to expand its Asian network with a new service to Kuala Lumpur from the beginning of the winter season (31 October).  The weekly service will be operated every Saturday by Boeing 767 aircraft, with a flight time of eight hours.  Kuala Lumpur will become Air Astana’s seventh international destination in Asia and the Gulf, with existing schedules operating between Almaty and Bangkok (3 times a week), Beijing (5), Delhi (3), Dubai (9), Seoul (2) and Urumqi (2).  Passengers on the weekly service will be able to return via Bangkok using the through fares of Air Astana and its partner airlines.  The airline flies to Heathrow twice weekly using Boeing 757 equipment and is a joint venture between a quasi-government investment fund (51%) and BAE Systems (49%). www.airastana.com
