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.

Air Astana Code Share Agreements:

While purchasing a ticket for an Air Astana code share flight, passengers should bear in mind that the operating carrier’s conditions of carriage of passengers, baggage and carry-on bags will apply.

Air Astana Interline Agreements

Another form of agreement between airlines is an Interline agreement. Under interline agreements a single ticket may be issued for an entire journey of the passenger, which may consist of Air Astana and interline partner flight portion(s). With such a ticket, the passenger can travel on a wider network of interlining airline flights.

If a passenger’s journey consists of several flight segments performed by one of the following airlines as part of an interline agreement, the passenger’s baggage can be registered to its final destination. This means that the passengers do not need to pick up their baggage and re-check it at the transfer point. However, the passenger must check in for the next flight of the partner airline at the airport of arrival.

*AccessRail issued tickets allow passengers to travel on Air Astana flights and travel further on a train within the network of AccessRail scheduled trains. Baggage is checked to the arriving/departing airport only.

Through Check-in for Interline Flights

Interline through check-in agreements are another form of an agreement between partner airlines. If the passenger’s journey involves an Air Astana flight and a flight of one of the following airlines, passengers and their baggage may be checked till their intended final destination.

Through check-in is possible, provided that the entire journey, including both Air Astana and partner airline’s flights, is issued on a single itinerary.
