Air Astana's Airline Partners

Code Share Agreements

Code Sharing is an agreement between two airlines, which enables the airlines to operate a joint flight on common routes. The airline which actually operates the flight is the operating carrier whereas the other airline, i.e. the marketing carrier, sells tickets for the operating carrier flights.

In accordance with the Code Share agreements airlines operate flights under the common flight number.
