All year long Air Astana assists the
participants of the Great Patriotic War to see their friends and
brother-soldiers in different cities of Kazakhstan and the CIS
countries. The participants and invalids of the Great Patriotic War may
take advantage of free tickets on our scheduled flights to any city in
Kazakhstan and the CIS countries. In 2002 this gesture was offered as a
tribute to the feat of the Kazakhstani people in the Great Patriotic
War. From 2002 through 2008 this offer began 1 May to 15 June.
Beginning in 2009 Air Astana made this gesture of goodwill all year
round. In addition, Air Astana offers a discount of 50% for persons
accompanying the Great Patriotic War veterans and this year the offer
runs from 1 April to 30 June.
It should be noted that the veterans of
the Great Patriotic War and the accompanying persons will pay airport
and other taxes. Please note that in order to receive the
above-mentioned discount it is mandatory that the accompanying person
travel with the Great Patriotic War veteran for the entire journey.
You can book tickets by calling our Call
Centre at +7 (727) 2 44 44 77, visiting Air Astana
ticketing office in your city or any other ticketing agency.
This discount is offered on all Air
Astana domestic flights and flights between Kazakhstan and the CIS
cities of Moscow, Novosibirsk, Baku, and Bishkek.
The offer will be granted provided you have the following documents:
- For the participants and invalids of the Great Patriotic War – a
certificate of the participant/invalid of the Great Patriotic War
issued by relevant authorities;
- For other categories of the Great Patriotic War veterans – a
pension certificate certified by relevant authorities.
This Air Astana gesture on Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War is
very popular among the war veterans. In 2009, 2,554 Great Patriotic War
