Air Astana Celebrates Five Years of Service to Georgia

Scheduled services are now operating to Tbilisi from Almaty and Astana.

Air Astana, Kazakhstan’s award winning flag carrier, marked its fourteenth anniversary last month and is now looking forward to another celebration, with June being the fifth anniversary of services launched between Kazakhstan and Georgia. In addition to the daily flight operated by Airbus A320 and Embraer 190 aircraft between Almaty and Tbilisi, this month has also seen the re-launch of regular scheduled services between Astana and Tbilisi.

“Georgia has become very popular amongst Kazakh tourists, with its cuisine, warm hospitality and breathtaking scenery being amongst the attractions,” said Kamila Zhailaubayeva, Air Astana Country Manager for Georgia. “With visitor numbers having increased by 20% on the Astana route so far this year, the previously seasonal flight to Tbilisi has been upgraded to a twice weekly service all year round. For Georgians, the three hour flight to Astana offers excellent onward connections to other destinations in Central Asia, Asia, southern Russia, Europe and the Middle East. And both Business Class passengers and Nomad Club Frequent Flyer Diamond, Gold and Silver card holders can enjoy the comfort of Air Astana’s ‘Shanyrak’ lounge at Astana Airport.”

Convenient connecting flights are also available for passengers travelling from Tbilisi to Almaty, with onward destinations including Beijing, Urumqi, Delhi, Tashkent, Bishkek and Dushanbe. For destinations with longer connecting times, Air Astana offers a Stopover Holiday program including hotel accommodation and a city tour. Air Astana also offers cargo services from Georgia to all destinations on the network.
