Air Astana announced (26-Feb-2018) plans to increase Astana-London Heathrow frequency from five to seven times weekly from 01-Jun-2018, operating with Boeing 757 aircraft. CEO Peter Foster said: "We are delighted to have finally secured daily flight status on what is such a prestigious and popular route - the only direct service linking the UK to Kazakhstan. London has consistently grown in significance, with both business and leisure travellers and it comes at an opportune time too for the airline strategically, as we start to plan for an IPO listing in both London and Kazakhstan".
