<p><span data-contrast="auto">Since Russian airspace was declared a no-go zone after the Ukraine invasion, central Asian airlines, such as Air Astana, raked in passenger numbers and consequent revenues. The air service’s group president and CEO, Peter Foster, summed up their approach:</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span data-contrast="auto">As one of the fast-growing airline groups, we firmly believe that Air Astana represents an attractive investment proposition, supported by strong financial and operational track record, significant growth opportunities, and an experienced, disciplined management team. We look forward to continuing our success while creating long-term value for our future shareholders.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">At present, Air Astana operates 49 aeroplanes and, to date, accommodates 7 million passengers. The company’s operating profit for 2002 was $149m.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p>
