Air Astana to launch LCC FlyArystan in 2019
Air Astana plans to launch LCC FlyArystan in the first half of 2019, in response to a rapidly changing local and regional airline business environment. The management team will be led by Tim Jordan, who has more than 15 years senior LCC management experience at Cebu Pacific and Virgin Blue. The low-cost unit will begin operations with a fleet of Airbus A320s. Air Astana president & CE Peter Foster said that 4 A320s—configured in an 180-seat all-economy class—will be transferred from the Air Astana fleet. “Looking to the future, we would expect a combination of more A320 classics and possibly neos. The fleet is expected to grow to at least to 15 aircraft by 2022. This is a conservative estimate,” he said. He said FlyArystan will offer low airfares—approximately half of what Air Astana offers—on mostly domestic routes. <br/>
