QazaqAir to Launch New Astana-Turkistan-Samarkand Route in May
QazaqAir is set to introduce a new flight route connecting Astana, Turkistan, and Samarkand, starting May 1, as announced by the Kazakh Transport Ministry.
The airline will operate flights twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays, expanding the Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan flight network from 42 to 44 weekly flights.
This new service follows QazaqAir’s sale to a consortium of Vietnamese investors under the Central Asia Aviation Holdings Limited, part of the Sovico Group. The new owners plan to modernize the airline, improving operational efficiency and expanding regional connectivity.
In the coming years, QazaqAir will enhance its fleet with 20 new Boeing 737 MAX 8 or Airbus aircraft.
