Air Kazakhstan,[1] stylised as Air Kazakstan (Kazakh: Эйр Қазақстан / Eir Qazaqstan), was a Kazakh airline and its national carrier. After its bankruptcy, the airline was shut down. It was headquartered in Almaty.[2]
History
The airline was established in 1991 as Kazakhstan Airways, but changed to Air Kazakhstan on 10 March 1997 (spelled as "Air Kazakhstan" until 2001). It ceased operations on 29 February 2004, after accumulating heavy debts, and was declared bankrupt in April 2004 by a court in Almaty.
Air Astana succeeded and replaced Air Kazakhstan as the country's flag carrier.
