FlyArystan is expanding its international route network in China and launches a new direct service on the Astana – Yining (Kulja) – Astana route. Flights will commence on 28 October 2026.
Flights will operate twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The flight from Astana is scheduled to depart at 07:55 and arrive in Yining at 13:20 local time. The return flight will depart Yining at 15:20 and arrive in Astana at 14:50 local time.
The new route will become FlyArystan’s second destination in Yining. In May 2025, the airline became the first Kazakhstani carrier to launch direct air service on the Almaty – Yining (Kulja) route. During its first year of operation, the route demonstrated steady demand, and in 2026 the frequency of flights was increased to four times a week.
The launch of the Astana – Yining service continues FlyArystan’s expansion of its international route network in China. In 2026, the airline also resumed flights from Astana to Urumqi and launched new routes Aktau – Urumqi, Almaty – Xi’an and Almaty – Chongqing.
