Air Astana seeks stronger link
Air Astana wants to strengthen the connection between Thailand and its Kazakhstan home base. The airline intends to ramp up its frequencies on the Bangkok-Almaty and Bangkok-Astana routes, now at 5 and 2 flights a week, respectively, to a daily basis by the end of 2019 or mid-2020. The move is consistent with the airline's plan to introduce a new fleet of the A321neo Long Range aircraft, the first of which is due to arrive around June 2019, said Peter Foster, the airline's CE. The planned increase in frequencies and introduction of new aircraft reflects the importance of Bangkok as a top destination in Southeast Asia to the carrier. Air Astana has a load factor of 80-90% in the high season and 70% in the low season for its Bangkok-bound services, said airline officials. <br/>
