Alan Atamkulov, Country Manager for India and the Indian Subcontinent at Air Astana, highlights the airline's strategic expansion and growing presence in India. With the launch of direct flights to Mumbai, competitive fares, and enhanced traveller experiences, the airline is committed to making Kazakhstan a preferred destination for both business and leisure travellers from India.

Since entering the market in 2004, the airline has steadily expanded its presence and is now set to launch direct flights between Mumbai and Almaty on April 20, 2025, further strengthening connectivity alongside its existing Delhi services.

The recent opening of the new international terminal at Almaty International Airport and the introduction of 'The Shanyrak,' an exclusive business lounge for Business Class passengers and Nomad Club elite members further elevate the travel experience.
