Following the closure of the air territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Air Astana has announced changes to its flight paths for several international destinations. The airline's press service released this statement today.

Specifically, flights to Sharm El-Sheikh, Dubai, Doha, and Medina will now be operated by bypassing Iranian territory. These changes apply to both scheduled and charter flights. The airline specified that bypassing the airspace may result in longer flight durations and potential adjustments to the flight schedules.

Due to these circumstances, Air Astana advises passengers to take potential changes in departure and arrival times into account and to check their flight status in advance.
