Air Astana Group has expanded its connections between Kazakhstan and Georgia with new routes and services. The airline now offers up to 44 weekly flights during the peak summer season. Its Stopover Holiday and Mytour programmes also provide transit passengers with affordable accommodations for long layovers. Air Astana first launched a direct service between Almaty and Tbilisi in June 2011. Since then, it has added more routes, including Astana-Tbilisi in 2015, which resumed after the pandemic in 2022. Almaty-Batumi and Astana-Kutaisi began in 2021, followed by Almaty-Kutaisi in 2023. Future routes include Atyrau-Tbilisi in 2025, as well as Astana-Batumi and Aktau-Batumi in 2026.
The airline’s Stopover Holiday and Mytour programmes cater to passengers with connecting times over 10 hours. These services start at $30 for the first night and are available from Almaty, Astana, Atyrau, and Aktau to Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi. Georgia has grown into a key source market for transit travellers passing through the group’s hubs in Almaty and Astana.
In 2025, Air Astana Group carried over 270,000 passengers between Kazakhstan and Georgia, a 17% rise from the previous year. The group operates a fleet of 63 aircraft shared between Air Astana JSC and FlyArystan JSC. Both airlines have earned industry recognition, with Air Astana named Best Airline in Central Asia & CIS by Skytrax for fourteen consecutive years. FlyArystan has won Best Low-Cost Carrier in the region three times. The group continues to strengthen its presence in the region with new routes and passenger services. Its growing network and awards highlight its role as a leading carrier between Kazakhstan and Georgia. The expanded flight options and stopover programmes aim to meet rising demand from transit travellers.
