TDM AWARDS - NOMINATE NOW!

Air Astana has announced an extension of its suspension of flights to Dubai from Almaty and Astana, citing ongoing instability in the Gulf region. The suspension, initially set to end earlier, will now continue until 30 September 2026. The airline has also adjusted its October schedule, reducing the frequency of flights on these routes.

Passengers affected by the suspension have several options. They can rebook their flights in the same booking class for travel until 20 November 2026 at no additional cost. Alternatively, passengers may request a full refund at their original point of purchase or choose to reroute to other international destinations served by Air Astana, although this may be subject to fare differences.

This decision underscores the airline's commitment to passenger safety amidst regional uncertainties. The adjustments aim to provide flexibility and minimise inconvenience for travellers during this period of disruption
