Kazakhstan’s Air Astana will launch its first flights to Mongolia and Iran this summer.

Commencing in early June, the airline will offer three weekly flights from Kazakhstan’s capital city, Astana, to the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar. Services will operate every Monday, Thursday and Sunday using a 97-seat Embraer E190 aircraft.

And also in June, Air Astana will commence its first ever flights to Iran. The new route from Kazakhstan’s largest city, Almaty, to the Iranian capital Tehran will run three times a week (Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays) using a 148-seat Airbus A320 aircraft.

Air Astana has also announced that it will launch a fourth daily frequency on its Astana-London route in June. This service will run every Monday, complementing the existing Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday flights. Air Astana operates its 166-seat Boeing 757 on the London Heathrow route.
