How to get from Aktau to Amsterdam: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights from Aktau to Amsterdam: Aktau airport mainly serves regional destinations and no long-haul European services appear in its timetable.

The basic option is a connection in Istanbul: Pegasus flies from Aktau to Sabiha Gokcen, and Pegasus and AJet continue to Amsterdam. Another possibility is to fly first to Almaty or Astana, which have more services to Europe, and connect onto a European hub from there.

The Istanbul connection is usually faster: the whole trip is booked as one itinerary and there are several departures a day on the Amsterdam leg. Routing through Almaty or Astana is longer but can offer a more flexible schedule and a wider choice of carriers. As this is an international trip with a connection, check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the country where you change planes.
