FlyArystan policy on flight status changes

Flight status change - a change of route from the planned destination, flight delay, flight schedule change, flight cancellation other change affecting flight departure (arrival) time or route.

Notification of passengers about the change of flight departure time

In the event of a flight delay, cancellation or rescheduling, FlyArystan will take all necessary actions to notify the passengers via the mobile phone number and/or e-mail address provided when purchasing the ticket, immediately upon receiving the information about the change.

If a travel agency issued the ticket and only the agency number is displayed in the system (no direct passenger’s contacts), the information will be sent to the contact number of the travel agency instead. Accordingly, it is the agency’s responsibility to inform the passenger about further flight changes.

FlyArystan is not liable for failure to notify the passenger upon change of flight status in case the passenger has not provided his/her contact details, has provided incorrect contact details, or is out of network coverage.

Passengers must ensure that a valid phone number and e-mail address are correctly entered in the booking. The contact details can be checked/changed via the Manage My Booking service.

Passengers can always check the current flight status via FlyArystan mobile App or on the home page of our website flyarystan.com. In addition, updated information will be available on the displays at the airport.

If the status of the flight is changed due to the fault of the carrier, passengers are offered the following services:

1. Upon request (if available), a mother and child room for a passenger with a child under seven years of age;
2. When the flight status is changed for more than 2 hours: passengers have the right to request soft drinks, as well as two phone calls, including international lines, lasting no more than five minutes, or two e-mail messages.
3. When the flight status is changed for more than 4 hours — a hot meal.
4. When the flight status is changed for more than 8 hours during the daytime and more than 6 hours during the nighttime — passengers can request an accommodation, as well as a transfer to/ from the accommodation.

• Passengers are kindly requested to contact FlyArystan representatives and maximum support will be provided.
•  In case passengers were unable to contact the representatives, the airline is willing to reimburse accommodation and meals upon submission of the relevant payment documents.

5. If the flight status is changed for more than 5 hours, passengers can make a choice of:

• One free rebooking to the next flight, subject to the seat availability
• full refund if rebooking is not possible*.

* If the ticket was purchased through the airline’s official sales channels — the FlyArystan mobile application or flyarystan.com website, the passenger can change the date of departure via "My bookings" / "Manage my booking" or make a full refund.

A full refund for the tickets purchased via FlyArystan app., flyarystan.com, or Contact Centre is credited to the same payment card.

 If the ticket was issued through the FlyArystan Call Centre or third-party resources (Aviata, Kaspi Travel, Halyk Travel ticket offices, tour operators, etc), the passenger should apply to the place of purchase to change the departure date or refund the ticket.
