BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 24. Kazakhstan’s
FlyArystan airline has launched regular flights on the new
Almaty-Chongqing route, the press service of Kazakhstan’s Ministry
of Transport said.
According to the Ministry, the flights will operate twice a
week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, using Airbus A320neo
aircraft.
“The launch of air services between Kazakhstan and China will
contribute to the further development of trade and economic,
business, investment, tourism and cultural cooperation between the
countries,” the ministry said.
According to FlyArystan, Chongqing has become the airline’s
fourth destination in China, adding to its existing routes to
Urumqi, Yining and Xi’an.
“Chongqing is one of the most important economic, industrial and
logistics centers in western China, and its strategic location and
developed links with domestic and international markets make the
city an important partner for Kazakhstan and the entire Central
Asian region. The launch of a direct flight between Chongqing and
Almaty marks a new stage in the development of FlyArystan’s
presence in the Chinese market. In recent years, we have
consistently expanded our route network, connecting Kazakhstan with
key cities in China, including Urumqi, Xi’an and Yining. Today, we
are pleased to add Chongqing to this growing network and provide
our passengers with another option for direct and convenient travel
between Kazakhstan and China,” FlyArystan President and CEO Johan
Eidhagen said.
