Air Astana, the Skytrax award-winning national carrier of Kazakhstan will offer daily, non-stop flights from Nazarbayev International airport in Astana to London Heathrow, effective 1st June. The additional frequencies, on Wednesdays and Fridays, are already available for sale.

"We are delighted to have finally secured daily flight status on what is such a prestigious and popular route - the only direct service linking the UK to Kazakhstan," said Air Astana CEO and President Peter Foster. "London has consistently grown in significance, with both business and leisure travellers and it comes at an opportune time too for the airline strategically, as we start to plan for an IPO listing in both London and Kazakhstan."
