The Kazakh low-cost carrier restores direct air connectivity between western Kazakhstan and the UAE using Airbus A320 aircraft, coinciding with Dubai’s winter tourism season.

Dubai, UAE – Al Rehla

Kazakh low-cost airline FlyArystan has announced the resumption of direct flights between Aktau and Dubai starting November 21, 2026, with two weekly services operating on Tuesdays and Saturdays, following a suspension earlier this year due to regional airspace disruptions.
The resumption restores direct connectivity between Kazakhstan’s western Mangystau region and Dubai, eliminating the need for connecting flights. Tickets are available through the airline’s official website and mobile application.

Flight Schedule and Operations

According to the announced schedule, Tuesday flights will depart Aktau at 5:15 a.m. and arrive in Dubai at 9:50 a.m. Return flights will leave Dubai at 10:55 a.m., arriving in Aktau at 5:25 p.m.
On Saturdays, flights will depart Aktau at 7:20 a.m. and arrive in Dubai at 11:55 a.m. Return services will depart Dubai at 1:00 p.m. and arrive in Aktau at 7:30 p.m., with all times stated in local time.
The airline will operate the route using Airbus A320 aircraft, with an approximate flight duration of five hours and 35 minutes.

Services Return for Winter Tourism Season

The route’s resumption coincides with Dubai’s winter tourism season, featuring major attractions and events, including the Dubai Shopping Festival, Global Village and several outdoor entertainment destinations.
Kazakh citizens can enter the UAE without obtaining a visa in advance for stays of up to 30 days, provided their passports remain valid for at least six months.

Al Rehla Perspective

The restored route provides a convenient direct travel option between the UAE and western Kazakhstan for leisure travellers and short-stay visitors.
It also offers Dubai residents an opportunity to explore Aktau and the Caspian Sea coastline.
Passengers are advised to check baggage allowances, flight schedules and visa requirements before booking, as operational timetables may be subject to change.
