Air Astana starts weekly Airbus A320 flights to Western Kazakhstan on June 14

Kazakhstan’s Air Astana will start weekly non-stop flights from Frankfurt/Main to Uralsk in Kazakhstan from June 14, 2017. Air Astana’s new service, which will operate on Wednesdays, is in response to growing demand for international services to and from Uralsk to better serve the 230,000 inhabitants in the far west of the country. The region boasts growing economic production across the energy, mineral resource, and mechanical engineering sectors. Agricultural production also plays an important role within the local economy. Agreements with partner airlines mean that passengers in both directions can connect seamlessly in Frankfurt across extensive flight networks in Europe and North America.
