Prague Airport Gains Direct Connection to Kazakhstan Thanks to FlyArystan

The Kazakh low-cost airline FlyArystan will launch its direct connection between Prague and the city of Aktau, Kazakhstan, on 12 June 2022. Departures of the Airbus A320 for 180 passengers are scheduled every Sunday, with a Thursday service to be added from 6 July. The carrier chose the Czech Republic as its first destination in Europe.
