BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 14. Kazakh low-cost
carrier FlyArystan has launched a new direct international route
connecting Atyrau with the Georgian resort city of Batumi.
This was reflected in the statement published by the Civil
Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of
Kazakhstan.
According to information, the weekly service commenced
operations on July 14, utilizing Airbus A320 aircraft to connect
the two destinations on Tuesdays. This new seasonal flight path is
part of a broader regulatory effort by the ministry to expand
Kazakhstan's international flight network and diversify travel
options for passengers during the peak summer period. The new
direct connection is expected to significantly boost bilateral
tourism and trade exchanges between western Kazakhstan and the
Black Sea coast.
"The launch of a direct flight from Atyrau enables residents of
Western Kazakhstan to plan their journeys most conveniently –
without additional transfers and unnecessary time spent in
transit," FlyArystan President and CEO Johan Eidhagen stated.
Earlier in May, FlyArystan inaugurated direct flights from
Almaty to Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport in Türkiye.
Flights on the newly established Almaty–Gazipaşa-Alanya route
operate from May 13 through October 24, 2026, twice weekly on
Wednesdays and Saturdays. Seasonal flights from Astana resumed on
May 11 and will continue through October 22, 2026, operating twice
weekly on Mondays and Thursdays.
