Air Astana received a string of international awards for In-flight Excellence. The recognition took place during the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2025 held in Hamburg from 8th to 10th April 2025. These included the prestigious Travel Plus, Onboard Hospitality, and PAX International Readership Awards, with multiple accolades across several categories.

The airline received the Travel Plus Gold Award for its Economy Class amenity kit, bedding collection, and infant kit. The Onboard Hospitality Awards jury gave top marks to Air Astana’s baby kits for children under two, Economy Class amenity kits, and its digital menu.

Air Astana was also named a winner at the PAX Readership Awards in the following categories: Best Inflight Entertainment, Best Onboard Catering, Best Economy and Premium Economy Amenity Kits, and Best Kids’ Kit.

“These prestigious awards reflect the strong international recognition of our onboard product,” said Yelena Obukhova, Vice President of Inflight Services at Air Astana. “We take pride in consistently meeting global standards while shaping a uniquely Kazakh approach to hospitality.”

International awards in onboard services are considered an independent benchmark of quality in the air travel industry. Airline products undergo rigorous evaluation by focus groups comprising experienced travelers with a deep understanding of passenger needs who evaluate functionality, design, comfort, and sustainability. These awards highlight Air Astana’s commitment to excellence and customer-centric service.
