Air Astana, the leading airline in Kazakhstan, has entered into a sponsorship deal with the prominent Kairat football club, officially becoming its designated carrier. This partnership will see Air Astana managing the team’s travel logistics for international competitions and training camps, alongside providing special rates for domestic flights, baggage handling, and charter services when necessary.

The airline emphasized that backing Kazakhstani sports is a significant element of its corporate responsibility strategy. By supporting Kairat, Air Astana aligns itself with one of the most successful football clubs in the country, enhancing its involvement in the national sports scene.

Kairat has achieved remarkable success, notably reaching the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in the 2025-26 season. This included a challenging match against Real Madrid in Almaty on September 30, where the local team was defeated 5-0 by the visiting Spanish giants.

Kairat’s upcoming fixture at Almaty’s Central Stadium is against the Cypriot team Pafos, set for October 21. Fans are eagerly anticipating this match as the club seeks to make a mark in European football circles. Air Astana’s role as the official carrier aims to streamline the team’s travel experiences as they continue their journey in the Champions League.
