In a strategic move to enhance connectivity between Kazakhstan and Thailand, Air Astana has announced the launch of new direct flights from Astana to Phuket on October 26, 2024. This expansion marks a significant milestone in the airline’s ongoing efforts to cater to the growing demand for leisure travel to Thailand’s most prominent resort island.

The new Astana-Phuket route will operate three times weekly, with flights scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Departing from Astana at 21:40 local time, the flights are set to arrive in Phuket the following morning at 07:45, offering passengers ample time to begin their tropical getaway. The return flights from Phuket will depart on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 09:30, arriving in Astana at 16:10 local time. With just over eight hours of flight, travellers can expect a comfortable and efficient journey between the two destinations.

This new service from Astana complements Air Astana’s existing Almaty-Phuket route, which currently operates five times a week and will increase to daily service on the same date. By expanding its flight offerings, Air Astana is positioning itself as a key player in the regional aviation market, providing more flexibility and convenience for travellers looking to explore Phuket’s beauty.

Air Astana will utilize its state-of-the-art Airbus A321LR aircraft for the Phuket routes. The aircraft offers a superior travel experience with 16 fully lie-flat seats in business class and 150 ergonomic seats in economy. Passengers in both classes will enjoy a range of in-flight entertainment options, ensuring a pleasant journey, whether travelling for business or leisure.

The airline has also announced competitive pricing for the new route, with round-trip economy tickets starting at USD 698, including all fees. Tickets are now available on Air Astana’s official website and through authorized travel agencies, making it easier than ever for travellers to secure their seats on these highly anticipated flights.

This expansion underscores Air Astana’s commitment to enhancing its service offerings and connecting travellers to some of the world’s most sought-after destinations. By increasing its Phuket service, the airline is meeting the rising demand for travel to Thailand and reinforcing its reputation for delivering world-class service and comfort.
