The new Air Astana A321neo is configured with 28 Business Class and 151 Economy class seats, all of which are equipped with personal in-flight entertainment systems.
Air Astana, the award-winning Kazakh flag carrier, has taken delivery of its first A321neo at the Airbus facility in Hamburg, Germany. The aircraft is on an operating lease from Aercap under a deal including two further A321neos and one A320neo, which are scheduled for delivery in 2018.
The new Air Astana A321neo is configured with 28 Business Class and 151 Economy class seats, all of which are equipped with personal in-flight entertainment systems. The cabin features larger overhead-bin capacity and a new mood-lighting system enabled by LED technology.
The A321neo is powered by the latest generation Pratt & Whitney engines which, together with aerodynamic improvements, make it the quietest aircraft in its class. It also delivers a 15% saving in fuel consumption compared to the previous model.
The aircraft will be operated on Air Astana’s network of domestic and regional routes.
Air Astana currently operates 13 A320 aircraft and one A320neo, which was delivered in 2016. The carrier plans to increase its fleet of A320neo family aircraft to 17 by 2020.
