Air Astana Expands Fleet with Airbus A320neo Commitment

Air Astana has agreed to purchase up to 50 A320neo family aircraft from Airbus, comprising 25 firm orders and 25 options, with deliveries starting in 2031. The airline aims to leverage the new fleet to enhance sustainable growth and profitability. This commitment comes after a recent deal with Boeing for up to 15 787 Dreamliners. The agreement was announced by Air Astana CEO Peter Foster, who will retire in March 2026. The order is subject to shareholder approval and will require Airbus to allocate aircraft production slots in the 2030s.
