The first option is via Almaty: the Air Astana non-stop from Heathrow, then about 2 hours 30 minutes on to Aktobe. The second is via Istanbul: a flight to Sabiha Gokcen and then a Pegasus service of about 4 hours 25 minutes. Connections through Astana on domestic flights of Kazakh carriers are also possible.
