Air Astana has taken delivery of an Airbus A320neo in Astana today, bringing the Group’s fleet up to 56 aircraft. There are now 50 Airbus family aircraft in the Air Astana Group fleet, with another two scheduled for delivery before the end of the year. The newly delivered Airbus A320neo is configured with 16 Business Class seats and 132 Economy Class seats.

“Air Astana Group is in the midst of an exciting new phase of development, with international and domestic passenger traffic growing significantly,” said Peter Foster, Chief Executive Officer. “The Airbus A320 family of aircraft has proven to be an outstanding success in service with both Air Astana and FlyArystan, with the fleet destined to continue rapidly expanding over the next few years.”

The Group’s fleet size is expanding ahead of schedule, growing from 49 aircraft at the end of 2023 to 56 aircraft as of today. This proactive capacity addition with Airbus aircraft aims to mitigate Pratt & Whitney engine issues, optimize the Group’s network and its growth strategy. By the end of 2028, the Group’s overall fleet is planned to reach 80 aircraft, predominantly comprising Airbus family types.

In line with Air Astana Group’s strategic goals of reducing environmental impact and enhancing operational efficiency, the new Airbus aircraft joining the fleet feature advanced technologies that reduce emissions, lower noise levels, and minimize fuel burn, while delivering increased range. These aircraft will play a crucial role in supporting the Group’s commitment to sustainability, providing a greener, more efficient fleet for the future.
