Male — Aktobe flight schedule
There are no non-stop Male — Aktobe flights. The only single-connection pattern runs via Tashkent: the Tashkent — Male and Tashkent — Aktobe services each operate only a few times a month, so the connection does not work every week and the wait can be long. More often the itinerary has two stops, via Dubai or Istanbul with a continuation from Almaty or Astana.
The schedule changes by day of the week and by season, and fares are dynamic. The Freedom Travel search shows the flight combinations available for your dates.

How to get from Male to Aktobe: your flight options
There is no non-stop flight between Male and Aktobe, and in most cases one connection is not enough.
Practical options are: via Dubai, continuing to Almaty or Astana and then on a domestic flight to Aktobe; via Istanbul, where Aktobe flights leave from Sabiha Gokcen; or via Tashkent when the two legs fall on matching dates.
Compare the options not only by price but also by total travel time, layover length and baggage rules: on separate tickets you will have to collect and re-check your bags, and an Istanbul connection may involve moving between IST and Sabiha Gokcen. Also check whether you need a transit visa in the connecting countries.
