Air Astana’s On-Time Performance Rises to 89%

Kazakhstan-based Air Astana Group continues to improve its on-time performance. The group, which includes Air Astana and FlyArystan, achieved an on-time performance rate of 89% in September and October 2026, representing a 10% increase compared to the same period last year.

During the summer season, the group’s on-time performance rate rose by 12.5% year-on-year to 86%. Air Astana Group operated a total of 21,520 flights over the three-month summer period.

Meanwhile, the company warned that adverse weather conditions could affect flight schedules during the winter months. Restrictions introduced by the aircraft manufacturer in 2025 limit takeoffs by Airbus A320 and A321 family aircraft equipped with PW1100G engines under low-visibility and freezing fog conditions. These restrictions could particularly affect operations at Almaty International Airport, where such weather conditions are frequently experienced.
