Air Astana has announced plans to resume flights from Kazakhstan’s capital Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana) to London Heathrow next month.

The flag carrier will offer a twice weekly service from September 18, with the following schedules:

  • Flight KC945 will depart Nur-Sultan at 0515 on Wednesdays and Saturdays, landing into London at 0730
