BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 18. Kazakhstan's
FlyArystan airline has extended the temporary suspension of flights
on the Aktau-Dubai-Aktau route until September 30, 2026, inclusive,
the airline's press service reported.
“The decision was made due to the continued instability in the
Middle East. The airline had previously announced the suspension of
flights on the route until September 15”, the company said
Tickets for flights between Aktau and Dubai are currently
available from October 3 as part of FlyArystan's winter
schedule.
Passengers affected by the canceled flights can rebook their
tickets free of charge for a later date or receive a full refund
without penalties at the place of purchase.
The airline said it will provide additional information if there
are further changes to the flight schedule.
Against the backdrop of the ongoing geopolitical tensions
surrounding Iran, airlines have been canceling or adjusting flights
to Dubai and other major aviation hubs in the Middle East due to
heightened risks to civil aviation.
Military and political instability in the region, periodic
restrictions on the use of Iranian airspace, and risks associated
with missile and drone activity have prompted international
airlines to take precautionary measures and adjust their flight
schedules.
