The largest low-cost airline in Southeast Asia will open regular flights to Kazakhstan, the Civil Aviation Committee reported.

“The committee, together with the Malaysian aviation authorities, worked on the issue of opening the Malaysian low-cost airline Air Asia X of regular passenger flights to Kazakhstan,” the department’s statement emphasizes.

Air Asia X plans to begin operating direct scheduled passenger flights on the route Kuala Lumpur - Almaty with a frequency of 4 flights per week from February 1, 2024, the committee added.

Kazakhstanis will be able to fly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays on A-330 type aircraft with a capacity of 285 to 377 seats to the capital of Malaysia.
