Airline Air Astana to Reinstate Delhi and Mumbai Routes Following Temporary Halting
Kickin' it Almaty-style again.
Get ready, jets are back in the sky! Kazakhstan'sbadass airline, Air Astana, is reclaiming its territory in the friendly skies with the resumption of regular flights on the Almaty-Delhi-Almaty route starting May 19, as confirmed by their press service on May 12.
So, pack your bags and get ready to feel the wind in your hair! Ticket sales for these flights have already reopened on May 13, and it's all systems go – the route and schedule will remain the same as before the temporary suspension.
A little birdie told us that Air Astana had to put the brakes on its flights between Almaty and the Indian cities of Delhi and Mumbai starting May 8, due to airspace shutdowns amidst the beef between India and Pakistan. But fear not! Once the air restrictions eased and the kitties stopped clawing, Air Astana chimed in with its presence, operating special repatriation flights to make sure those stranded travelers could get home in a jiffy.
Looks like the bigwigs in India and Pakistan finally decided to put aside their differences and sign a ceasefire agreement, which was brokered by none other than the Yanks (US, y'all) on May 10. The escalating hostilities that led to the deaths of 26 innocents in Indian-administered Kashmir came to a screeching halt, causing the UN and other international goodies to breathe a collective sigh of relief and welcome the peace as a step towards de-escalation.
Now, let's not forget that the Kazakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs wasn't too chuffed about the escalating tension between India and Pakistan and released an official statement expressing their deep concerns on May 8.
In summary, Air Astana is ready to rock and roll once more, reasserting its dominance in the skies with its regular schedule of Almaty-Delhi-Almaty flights taking off again as scheduled starting May 19, 2025.
