Air Astana has announced the delay of flights to Dubai from Almaty and Astana due to the unstable geopolitical situation along the flight route. The flights KC 205/206 Astana-Dubai-Astana and KC897/898 Almaty-Dubai-Almaty are expected to depart today at 15:00. In order to ensure the safety of passengers and crew, Air Astana flights to Dubai and Jeddah will be rerouted to avoid Iranian airspace.

The airline is closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East and will make necessary changes if required.
