The Air Astana Group has been recognised with several prestigious accolades at the Skytrax's 2024 World Airline Awards, which took place on 24th June at the Fairmont Windsor Park in the UK.
Air Astana was awarded Best Airline in Central Asia & CIS for the twelfth time and Best Airline Staff Service in Central Asia & CIS for the eighth time. Additionally, FlyArystan, Air Astana’s low-cost subsidiary, was named Best Low-Cost Carrier in Central Asia & CIS for the second consecutive year. The awards are organised by Skytrax, the international air transport rating agency.

These awards underscore the dedication of our entire team at both Air Astana and FlyArystan in maintaining the highest standards and providing the best experience for our customers on every flight. Receiving these prestigious honours highlights our unwavering commitment to excellence in every aspect of our service,” said Peter Foster, CEO of Air Astana Group.
"It is a great accomplishment for Air Astana to be named the Best Airline in Central Asia & CIS for the twelfth time. To also take the top place for Best Airline Staff Service in Central Asia & CIS is a testament to the high standards being achieved by Air Astana,” said Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax.
“Additionally, it is a fantastic achievement for FlyArystan to win the award as the Best Low-Cost Airline in Central Asia & CIS for the second consecutive year, and it should be a source of great pride for the FlyArystan management and staff."
