German airline Lufthansa has announced it will halt flights from Germany to Kazakhstan. During the winter season of 2025–2026, the airline will not operate flights from Frankfurt to Almaty and Astana, Orda.kz reports, citing Travel Radar.
The airline attributes the suspension to multiple issues: a shortage of aircraft, delays in the delivery of new aircraft and spare parts, and disruptions in global supply chains.
Last year, Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr stated that disruptions in aircraft parts supply had severely impacted the airline. He estimated the annual financial losses from these delays at half a billion euros.
The airline’s management does not expect the issue to be resolved before 2029, which is when deliveries are scheduled through.
Lufthansa have temporarily suspended their services to Kazakhstan from October 26, 2025 to March 29, 2026. This comes as a direct result of fleet shortages and the carrier’s careful analysis of aircraft availability, seasonal demand for flights, and economic efficiency,
Travel Radar writes.
It remains unknown whether flights from Germany to Kazakhstan will be fully restored after March 29, 2026.
In early January, Lufthansa had already suspended flights to Kazakhstan, citing unprofitability.
The flights resumed in February.
