As previously reported, Lufthansa suspended flights to Kazakhstan from October 26, 2025, citing an aircraft shortage, delays in deliveries of new aircraft and spare parts, and a review of seasonal demand.
Later, Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Transport linked the suspension to the need to bypass Russian airspace and the resulting increase in operating costs. The ministry also cited a seasonal drop in passenger traffic and delays in aircraft deliveries.
