Air Astana is expanding the range of flights from Germany
Next summer, Air Astana will connect Germany non-stop with Kazakhstan up to ten times a week. With the start of the summer flight schedule on March 27, 2022, the airline is increasing the number of its flights between Frankfurt and the Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan from four to initially five connections per week. From May 12, 2022, Kazakhstan's national airline will serve this route six times a week and from May 31, 2022 even daily. At the same time, the flight times on this route will change: Flight KC922 from Frankfurt departs in the evening at 19:55 p.m. and reaches its destination the next morning at 5:35 a.m. local time. On the way back, KC921 departs Nur-Sultan at 16:10 p.m. and lands in the Main metropolis at 18:30 p.m. on the same day. An Airbus A321LR with a two-class configuration including 16 flatbed seats in business class will be used. In addition to the flights to Nur-Sultan, Air Astana will continue to serve the city of Uralsk, also known as Oral, in northwest Kazakhstan with one flight per week (every Wednesday) in the summer flight schedule. The carrier is moving the weekly flights to Atyrau on the Caspian Sea from Frankfurt to Amsterdam "for logistical reasons" at the start of the 2022 summer flight schedule. After the pandemic-related suspension in the past two years, Air Astana will also resume seasonal service between Hanover and Kostanai in northern Kazakhstan in the summer months. The flights will depart every Saturday between May 14 and September 4, 2022, and also every Sunday from June 4, 2022.
