Air India has announced a new codeshare partnership with Kazakhstan's flag carrier Air Astana.
The codeshare agreement enables cooperation between the two airlines on trunk routes between Kazakhstan and India. Air India will place its AI flight code on Air Astana-operated flights from Almaty to both Delhi and Mumbai.
In return, Air India customers traveling from other points connecting in Delhi and Mumbai will be able to travel on a single-itinerary and check-in through to Almaty or their final destination.
“Our new codeshare partnership with Air Astana creates stronger air links to Kazakhstan, a fast-growing market with immense potential for tourism,” Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Air India said. “Beyond serving leisure travel demand, our partnership will also support trade and cultural exchanges between our two countries, while bringing a new destination in Central Asia closer to our customers."
Peter Foster, Chief Executive Officer, Air Astana Group said: “India is of key strategic importance to the Air Astana Group as we increase flights from Kazakhstan to Delhi, Mumbai and Goa. The code share will accelerate the increasingly strong business, tourist and student traffic flows between our two countries.”
The codeshare partnership builds upon the existing interline agreement between Air Astana and Air India which started in early 2025. Under the interline agreement, Air India customers can travel to multiple destinations across Central Asia and China including Astana (Kazakhstan), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Tashkent (Uzbekistan), Dushanbe (Tajikistan) and Urumqi (China) via Almaty. In return, Air Astana enjoys access to 18 destinations across Air India’s domestic network and 9 international destinations via Delhi and Mumbai.
