Destinations
Air Astana’s 59 destinations include most major cities in Kazakhstan and an increasing number of neighboring Central Asian and Russian cities. The latter is the result of a decision to implement what its managers refer to as an “extended home market strategy”, to leverage its reputation for high standards of service and air safety compliance in the region’s growing air transport markets. Thus since 2009 it has launched services to Baku, Tashkent, Urumqi, Tbilisi, Dushanbe, Bishkek, Novosibirsk, Samara, Yekaterinburg, and Saint Petersburg, with Kazan and Ulan Bator planned for mid 2012. Its long haul growth has been towards south and east Asia, with flights to Delhi, Seoul (operated in code share with Asiana Airlines), Beijing, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, and recently launched Hong Kong (28 August 2012) and Ho Chi Minh City (January 2013). It also flies to Abu Dhabi in code share with Etihad Airways (EY).
