Air Astana JSC and Boeing have announced the Kazakhstan flag carrier will purchase up to 15 787 Dreamliners to grow and modernize its fleet. The agreement for additional 787-9 airplanes will enable Air Astana to expand its operations and enhance its passengers’ experience.
When the order is finalized and posted to Boeing’s Orders & Deliveries website, it will be Air Astana’s largest single airplane purchase and will support more than 20,000 jobs across the U.S. With three more 787-9 airplanes to be delivered via lessors, Air Astana’s 787 fleet will grow up to 18 787-9 airplanes to fuel its long-haul capabilities.
Air Astana currently operates three Boeing 767-300 widebody jets across a network that connects Kazakhstan with destinations in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The airline will leverage the ultra-efficient 787-9, which will seat 303 passengers, to grow capacity across its existing routes and enable expansion into North America and to replace the 767-300s.
