Car Hire Almaty Airport

Almaty Mini Guide

Who flies to Almaty Airport?
It’s mainly people travelling on business although the rapidly growing numbers of passengers include a sizeable and increasing number of tourists who arrive at Almaty ready to get out into the Kazakh countryside and experience this very different country. The city has plenty of history to offer too as well as monuments erected in the Soviet era.

How do I get to Almaty Airport?
There are two flights from the UK, both from Heathrow, one with BA and the other with Air Astana, the national carrier. You can also fly into Almaty from many other European airports including Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Once at the airport you’ll find getting to the city easiest by hiring a car there.

What is the airport like?
The current terminal was completed under a decade ago but has already become overcrowded. A new one is planned which will help congestion inside the airport as well as on the roads outside it. For such a remote airport, it has an excellent range of services including several food outlets of all types, a duty free shop and several boutiques as well as a travel essentials shop and bookstore. There’s first aid and a prayer room as well as police, foreign exchange and postal facilities.

Almaty used to be the capital of Kazakhstan and is still the largest city and commercial centre of the country. Most visitors will be business travellers coming to negotiate contracts for oil and manufacturing but there’s still enough to see for the curious traveller with a bit of time to spare. The best way to do this is to hire a car from Almaty Airport. First, this gives you a quick and convenient way to get to your hotel but it also means you don’t have to worry about taxis and possible rip off taxi fares.
