Central Asian connects Central Europe!

ALMATY - 5 SEPTEMBER 2011

Central Asian Airlines is proud to announce the opening of its latest route to Prague in the Czech Republic. The route will start on 7 September and serve the Central European hub 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). The route will be flown in our state-of-the-art Boeing 757-200.

The management of Central Asian Airlines is excited about this new route: "connecting Central Asia to Central Europe opens new perspectives, not only for business, but certainly also for tourism. The Czech capital is a most beautiful city and very worthwhile of a visit.

Additionally, thanks to our extensive network into Asia, this offers to the Central European market a new way of flying into Asia: the comfort of any other airline at a fraction of the cost."

The opening of this route is part of a larger expansion into Europe. The airline has also announced it is investigating possible routes into New York and/or Boston in the United States. Many Kazakh expats live in the States and it would be the first time a central Asian airline would connect to the North American continent.

This comes at a time where Central Asian has discontinued its route between Almaty and Vancouver in Canada. In a statement, the management of the airline declared that the route was unprofitable and it may look at reopening the route at a later stage, but using an intermediate stop in Asia in stead of flying a direct route.
