Atyrau-Baku flights are operated three times a week: on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Flights are operated in the evening, and the travel time is nearly 1.5 hours. Citizens of Kazakhstan do not need a visa to Azerbaijan, reported the company’s press service.
Direct flights from Almaty to Frankfurt are operated on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays on A321LR aircraft. Travel time is 8 hours and 25 minutes.
The new route will complement the existing Astana-Frankfurt and Uralsk-Frankfurt routes.
The airline has signed an updated codeshare agreement with Lufthansa to operate codeshare flights on a new route, allowing passengers to benefit from the expanded route network of both airlines.
