Air Astana, in partnership with Airbus, is enhancing the efficiency of its long-haul flights by installing additional fuel tanks on Airbus A321LR and enabling non-stop flights over lang-haul distances without the need for technical stopovers.

Starting on 4th October 2024, the airline plans to resume non-stop flights on the Almaty to London route, which has been operating with a technical stop in Aktau since March 2022. With the new modifications, the route will become fully non-stop and more comfortable, reducing the overall flight time by 1.5 hours to 9h 35m. This will make it one of the longest narrow body routes in the world.

This modernisation is a key component of Air Astana's long-term strategy to enhance operational efficiency. It incorporates all necessary technical and safety aspects, providing passengers with more comfortable conditions for long-haul flights and improving the airline's operational performance.
