Kazakh Carrier Sees Strong Revenue But Profit Declines Amid Engine Issues

Air Astana, Kazakhstan’s largest airline, has reported an 11.4% revenue growth in 2025, driven by capacity expansion. However, profit after tax decreased to $13.6 million due to engine issues with its A320 fleet and currency volatility. The airline’s EBITDAR remained stable at $321.2 million. Despite challenges, Air Astana sees growth potential in the Kazakh market and is betting on international expansion, with new routes and aircraft deliveries planned. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
