Kazakhstan’s Air Astana airline announced suspension of all flights to Russia. Official website of the airline says.

It is noted that such a decision was made due to the termination of insurance coverage for commercial flights from / to the Russian Federation and over its territory.

«The airline is solving these issues with the government of Kazakhstan for a speedy resumption of flights. We ask passengers of canceled flights to contact the place of purchase for a full refund,» the statement says.
