Air Astana continues its plans to phase out its fleet of Fokker 50 turboprops, with the last two aircraft scheduled to be removed from the airline’s fleet in January 2013. The six aircraft will be replaced by Embraer 190s by the middle of 2013 on a one for one basis.
During eight years of service with Air Astana, the Fokker 50 fleet completed 50,000 domestic flights, flew 90,000 hours and carried 1.5 million passengers.
