Alanya — Aktau flight schedule
There are no direct flights between Alanya and Aktau, so the schedule consists of connecting itineraries. The most stable option runs via Istanbul Sabiha: Pegasus flies year-round from Gazipasa-Alanya Airport to Istanbul Sabiha and also operates Istanbul Sabiha — Aktau year-round (about 3 hours 20 minutes in the air). In the summer season a routing via Almaty becomes available, as FlyArystan serves Gazipasa from there.
Departure frequency and layover length depend on the season and the day of the week, and fares are dynamic, so exact dates, times and prices are best checked in the Freedom Travel search.

How to get from Alanya to Aktau: your flight options
There is no non-stop flight from Gazipasa-Alanya Airport to Aktau.
The most convenient option is a connection at Istanbul Sabiha, where Pegasus operates both legs. Alternatives are a connection at Istanbul’s main airport or, in the summer season, in Almaty, from where Kazakh airlines fly to Aktau daily. One more summer scenario: Aktau has seasonal flights to Antalya, and Alanya is reached from Antalya Airport (AYT) by road — that is a separate airport and it does not amount to a non-stop Alanya — Aktau service.
The Istanbul Sabiha routing is usually the fastest and the most predictable; going via Almaty makes sense if you combine the trip with a visit to southern Kazakhstan. As this is an international journey with a connection, check in advance whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country.
