FlyArystan's sales commenced on 29 March 2019 on its website. The airline flew its first flights on 1 May 2019 with services from its hub airport, Almaty International Airport.[2]
Peter Foster, President and CEO of Air Astana, was quoted at a press conference in Almaty on 6 November 2018 as saying that FlyArystan is “on the one hand a response to demand for lower airfares in a more competitive local market, on the other, a recognition of the huge opportunity for low cost air travel throughout Central Asia and the Caucasus”.
