Kazakhstan is expanding its international air network with the launch of new direct flights to China and Kyrgyzstan, giving travelers more options and boosting regional connectivity.

Low-cost carrier FlyArystan has introduced two new international routes as part of the country's efforts to strengthen global air links, The Caspian Post reports via Kazinform.

Since June 26, FlyArystan has been operating twice-weekly flights between Aktau and Urumqi, using Airbus A320 aircraft. The airline also launched regular Astana-Issyk-Kul flights on July 3, with services operating twice a week.

The new routes are expected to deepen trade, tourism, business, and cultural ties among Kazakhstan, China, and Kyrgyzstan while making travel more convenient for passengers.

The expansion comes as Kazakhstan continues growing its aviation sector and improve regional connectivity, amid rising demand for international travel across Central Asia.
