Kazakhstan's Airline Plans to Evacuate Passengers from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar
Forget the old news, let's talk about the latest twists in the Kazakh airlines' game!
Today, domestic fliers SCAT and Air Astana are stepping up their game, swooping in to save the day for trapped passengers in Dubai and Doha. According to our sources, these airlines are flying six charter flights from the Middle East hubs, all the way to Almaty and Astana, following a recent order by Kazakhstan's Ministry of Transport.
You know what they say: when life gives you lemons, these airlines make lemonade! Citizens of Kazakhstan, who found their regular flights canceled amidst the chaos in the Middle East, can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to these extra repatriation flights by SCAT and Air Astana.
So what's the big deal? Well, Air Astana started operating flights from Dubai to Almaty and Astana, along with flights from Doha to Almaty, on June 25. And they're not stopping there! They're working hard to make sure those who missed earlier flights can still make it home.
SCAT is doing its part too, by evacuating passengers from Qatar. The first Doha-Almaty flight departed this morning at 07:35 Qatar time, with a whopping 213 passengers on board. A Doha-Astana flight is also scheduled for later today, with a departure from Doha planned at 14:30 Qatar time, carrying an estimated 290 passengers.
In case you're wondering, here's the schedule for more charter flights: June 27 - Doha-Astana; June 29 - Doha-Almaty.
Earlier reports indicated that Air Astana would restart flights to the Middle East following a ceasefire, after previously canceling them. But don't forget, they're still avoiding the airspace of six Middle Eastern countries—Iran, Israel, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon—for obvious reasons. It's all about keeping passengers and crew safe by dodging potentially dangerous conflicts and ensuring a smooth flight.
Long story short: SCAT and Air Astana are helping out Kazakh citizens stranded in the Middle East by offering extra flights, all in the name of safety and comfort. The Ministry of Transport and other authorities are pulling the strings to make sure everyone gets home safe during this turbulent time. Now that's service you can count on!
