FlyArystan is a low-cost airline headquartered in Almaty, Kazakhstan.[3] It is the country's first low cost carrier.[4] The company slogan is Say YES! to Travel.[5][6]

It is the wholly owned low cost subsidiary of Air Astana.[7] The airline commenced operations in May 2019[8] and operates a comprehensive network of low fare flights on a modern fleet of A320 aircraft. Its route network includes both domestic flights as well as international routes.[9]

History[edit]

FlyArystan's sales commenced on 29 March 2019 on its website.[10][11] The airline flew its first flights on 1 May 2019 with services from its hub airport, Almaty International Airport.[8]

Peter Foster, President and CEO of Air Astana, was quoted at a press conference in Almaty on 6 November 2018 as saying that FlyArystan is “on the one hand a response to demand for lower airfares in a more competitive local market, on the other, a recognition of the huge opportunity for low cost air travel throughout Central Asia and the Caucasus”.[12]

Awards[edit]

In November 2022 FlyArystan was recognised as a 4-star airline by SkyTrax.[9] FlyArystan is one of only 12 LCCs to be assessed as 4-star quality.[citation needed]

In July 2023 FlyArystan was voted "Best LCC Central Asia & CIS" by SkyTrax.[13]

Destinations[edit]

FlyArystan commenced international flights in 2019 and since then it offers flights from multiple points in Kazakhstan.[citation needed] As of October 2023 besides the airline serves flights to destinations in Azerbaijan, China, Georgia, India,[15] Kyrgyzstan, Qatar,[16] Tajikistan, Turkey[17] and Uzbekistan.[18][19]
