Air Astana’s charter flight KC584 from Sanya, China, to Astana was delayed by 27 hours after low pressure in the aircraft’s green hydraulic system required a component replacement. Scheduled to depart on 4 November, the flight left the Hainan Island resort city at 10:07 local time on 5 November, with arrival in Kazakhstan’s capital expected at 14:45. The aircraft type and passenger count were not reported.
The delay followed a technical fault that prevented the aircraft from operating as scheduled. Air Astana reported that the faulty component was replaced before departure. The airline arranged transfers, meals and hotel accommodation for passengers during the disruption.
KC584 links Sanya with Astana as a charter service. The reported details did not specify when the hydraulic problem was identified or how long the repair took.
