Air Astana has launched twice-weekly Astana–Guangzhou services from June 2, using Airbus A321LR aircraft. The route operates on Tuesdays and Thursdays and adds a second mainland China link from the Kazakh capital alongside the existing Almaty–Guangzhou operation.
The new service is part of the airline’s summer schedule and comes amid a broader network push from Astana. The carrier’s schedule also includes new Astana–Larnaca flights from June 2 and Almaty–Larnaca flights from June 4, all on the A321LR. The Guangzhou route is timed to support traffic between southern China, Kazakhstan and onward points in Central Asia and Europe, while reinforcing Astana’s role as a hub in Air Astana’s route structure.
