How to get from Paris to Aktau: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights between Paris and Aktau: internationally, Aktau airport is linked with Istanbul, Baku, Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi, Yerevan, Antalya, Moscow and Urumqi.

The most practical choice is a single connection. Via Istanbul: Paris — Sabiha Gokcen and then Sabiha Gokcen — Aktau with Pegasus. Via Baku: Paris — Baku with Azerbaijan Airlines and a connection onward, operated year-round by Azerbaijan Airlines and seasonally by FlyArystan. You can also travel via Almaty or Astana with a domestic flight on Air Astana, FlyArystan or SCAT. In the winter season FlyArystan also flies non-stop from Dubai, so a routing through the UAE sometimes works well too.

The Istanbul option is usually the fastest and lets you fly the whole way with one airline, Baku is handy for its short layover, and a Kazakh hub suits you if you plan a stopover along the way. When connecting outside Kazakhstan, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
