SCAT launches flights from Munich to Kazakhstan

Kazakh airline SCAT announced it is now flying from Munich Airport to its hub in Shymkent with twice-weekly flights. Operating a Boeing 737-800, Kazakhstan’s largest private airline reaches the city in the south of the country in around six hours. This connection adds another country to the Bavarian air traffic hub’s global route network. “The new non-stop connection to Kazakhstan not only strengthens our route network to Central Asia, but also underscores the growing importance of the region for international air traffic. Thanks to its location, the attractive airport of the country’s third-largest city is a modern hub for connecting flights, both within Kazakhstan and to many destinations in Central Asia,” says Thomas Kube, Vice President Route and Passenger Development at Munich Airport. Vladimir Denisov, President of SСAT Airlines: “SCAT Airlines has been successfully operating for over 28 years. While flights to Munich are not the airline’s first European destination, they are a much-anticipated addition. We look forward to welcoming passengers from Germany on board and serving as their guide in exploring Kazakhstan – the very heart of Eurasia.” The country offers a wide range of experiences, from learning about traditions and history to engaging in extreme outdoor adventures, and from exploring ancient city ruins dating back to the time of Tamerlane to enjoying panoramic views of bustling Kazakhstani megacities.
