A Strategic Order to Modernize the Wide-Body Fleet
The order includes additional Boeing 787-9 aircraft, a model destined to become the core pillar of the company’s wide-body fleet. According to the official communication, this acquisition will allow Air Astana to:
- Expand international operations.
- Enhance the passenger experience, a key strategic driver for the airline’s sustained growth.
Up to 18 Boeing 787-9s in Service
In addition to the aircraft included in the direct contract with Boeing, Air Astana will receive three additional 787-9s through lessors. With these additions, the Dreamliner fleet could reach a total of up to 18 Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
