The Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) has honoured Air Astana with a five-star rating in the major airline category. This is the ninth time that Air Astana has received an APEX award.

The APEX award was based on third-party passenger reviews undertaken in partnership with TripIt, the highest-rated travel app in the world. For the 2024 Award, passengers reviewed nearly one million flights on more than 600 airlines on a five-star scale covering five categories: seat comfort, in-flight service, food and beverages, entertainment system and Wi-Fi service.

Measure of outstanding quality

“The APEX Award is a measure of the outstanding quality of Air Astana’s in-flight service, as well as a confirmation of continuous improvement of the customer experience,” said Yelena Obukhova, Vice President of In-flight Service of Air Astana. “We are grateful to our colleagues for their professionalism and commitment to high service standards, as well as to our passengers for their positive feedback.”

“APEX didn’t just celebrate the relentless drive and dedication of the airline industry’s finest, we hailed the audacious visionaries who have unequivocally redefined the future of air travel and the passenger journey. These are not just airlines and leading suppliers, they are titans and trailblazers who, in the face of unprecedented challenges, have not just adapted but have revolutionised the way we soar the skies. They have channeled colossal investments into game-changing technologies and groundbreaking sustainable practices. Backed by the roaring applause of over a million passengers’ votes, we don’t just recognise these leaders of aviation. All of us at APEX and IFSA salute their indomitable spirit,” said Joe Leader, APEX/IFSA CEO.
