Kazakhstan carrier Air Astana will introduce direct flights from Frankfurt to Almaty on October 2., with departure times optimized to meet connections from the U.K. cities of London Heathrow, Birmingham, and Manchester by partner Lufthansa. Both airlines operate from Frankfurt Terminal 1 providing seamless connections in both directions. Frankfurt to Almaty joins Air Astana's network twice weekly initially, increasing to three a week from October 26, operated by its newest fleet addition – the Airbus A321LR (long range).
An early morning arrival from Almaty to Frankfurt also enables convenient connections across European and North American destinations operated by Lufthansa.
The new service from Almaty follows the resumption of services from Nur-Sultan to Frankfurt in August. It also complements additional services from Frankfurt to Uralsk, taking the number of flights from Kazakhstan to Germany's premier commercial centre to eight per week.
