Qazaq Air (Vietjet Qazaqstan) is expanding its international network with two new routes connecting Astana to Bishkek and Samarkand.

The expansion aligns with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s initiative to strengthen connectivity across Central Asia, promoting tourism, trade, and cultural and educational exchange within the region.

Starting November 7, 2025, the airline will operate direct Astana–Samarkand–Astana flights twice a week — on Fridays and Sundays. A few days later, on November 10, Qazaq Air will also begin Astana–Bishkek–Astana flights, running twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays.

With its main hub at Astana International Airport, Qazaq Air offers convenient connecting flights from the capital to Bishkek, Samarkand, Omsk, and Novosibirsk, along with an extended network of domestic destinations.

According to the airline, the new routes will further enhance business, tourism, and cultural ties across Central Asia.
