According to the communiqué of Astana International Airport, the final direct flight from Astana to Abu Dhabi is scheduled to depart on 19 June at 15:45 local time.
Passengers holding return tickets from Abu Dhabi will be rebooked via Almaty. Those who choose not to accept the alternative travel arrangement may request a full refund by contacting the airline's customer service.
