Air Astana has taken delivery of its latest

The latest A321neo cabin combines existing
business class and new “Airspace Cabin” economy class, which
offers more seats, larger overhead lockers and a “moonlight” cabin
lighting system, that was previously only featured on the
airline’s long-haul aircraft.
Air Astana Group’s fleet now comprises 42 Airbus
A320/A321 family aircraft, three Boeing 767s and five Embraer E2
190s.
The company uses the aircraft to operate
approximately 48 international routes and 43 domestic routes.
