Kazakhstan carrier Air Astana is raising frequency from Heathrow.

The airline is adding a fifth weekly flight to Astana from June 4.

The airline offers same-day connections to Kazakhstan’s second city of Almaty and international destinations including the Kyrgyzstan capital of Bishkek, Urumqi in north-west China, Tbilisi in Georgia and the Russian cities of Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg.

Air Astana operates a Boeing 757 on the London route in a three class configuration comprising 16 seats in business, up to 12 economy sleeper seats and 108 in economy.

Return fares start at £498 in economy, £1,505 for economy sleeper, and £1,968 in business class.
