Air Astana finalizes order for 25 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft

Kazakhstan’s Air Astana Group has signed a firm order for 25 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft, the largest ever direct order by the group. The order comprises five A320neo and 20 A321neo aircraft.

“Air Astana’s large order for a new fleet of Airbus A320neo Family aircraft reflects a commitment to maintaining its reputation for operational efficiency and service excellence in the long term,” said Peter Foster, CEO of Air Astana. “The Airbus A320neo Family has proven to be an outstanding success in service with Air Astana over many years. In particular, the A321LR in its premium configuration allows us to offer what we believe is the world’s best narrow-body long-haul product, combining true long-range capability with an exceptional onboard experience.”

The airline said the new aircraft will be deployed by both Air Astana and its low-cost subsidiary FlyArystan. Currently the group operates a fleet of 59 Airbus A320 Family aircraft.
