Air Astana and Air India sign codeshare partnership

ALMATY/NEW DELHI - Air Astana JSC, the leading airline group in Central Asia and the Caucasus regions, has signed a codeshare partnership with Air India, according to a press release issued Wednesday.

The agreement will allow Air India to place its ’AI’ designator code on Air Astana-operated flights between Almaty-Delhi and Almaty-Mumbai routes, enhancing connectivity between Kazakhstan and India.

This codeshare builds upon an existing interline partnership between the two carriers that began earlier in 2025. Under that arrangement, Air Astana customers have been able to connect via Delhi and Mumbai to 18 destinations across India and nine international destinations in Air India’s network.

Similarly, Air India passengers have gained access to Air Astana’s network through Almaty, connecting to cities in Central Asia and China, including Astana, Bishkek, Tashkent, Dushanbe, and Urumqi.

Peter Foster, Air Astana Group’s CEO, stated that India represents a key strategic market for the company as it increases flights from Kazakhstan to Delhi, Mumbai, and Goa.

Campbell Wilson, CEO of Air India, noted that the partnership would support trade and cultural exchanges between the two countries while bringing Central Asian destinations closer to Air India’s customers.

The agreement comes as Air Astana continues to expand its presence in the Indian market, which the company describes as one of the fastest-growing travel markets globally.
