Aeroflot Adds Service to Six New Destinations in Kazakhstan

Aeroflot is pleased to announce new service to six cities in Kazakhstan. The airline this week adds regularly scheduled flights from its Moscow hub to Astana, Almaty, Aktau, Atyrau, Aktobe and Shymkent.

In March 2014 Aeroflot received permission to re-enter the Kazakh market, and the airline began operating regular service between Moscow and Karaganda. Today’s announcement marks a significant expansion of Aeroflot’s offering for passengers traveling between Russia and Kazakhstan, as Aeroflot begins flying routes to Kazakhstan’s largest cities vacated by Transaero, which ceased operations on October 26.

All Aeroflot flights to Kazakhstan depart from Sheremetyevo Airport’s Terminal E and are serviced by modern and comfortable Airbus A320 family aircraft.
