Sharjah — Atyrau flight schedule

There is no non-stop Sharjah — Atyrau flight.

Equally convenient is the Istanbul option, from where Atyrau is served by Air Astana (from Istanbul Airport) and Pegasus (from Sabiha Gokcen).

How to get from Sharjah to Atyrau: your flight options

There are no non-stop flights between Sharjah and Atyrau: Atyrau airport receives international services from Istanbul, Baku, Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Batumi, Sochi, Antalya and Sharm el-Sheikh, but none from the UAE. Keep in mind that Sharjah and Dubai are two different airports about 25 km apart, and neither has a non-stop flight to Atyrau.

The most practical choice is a single connection. Via Baku: Sharjah — Baku with Air Arabia, then Baku — Atyrau with Azerbaijan Airlines or Air Astana. Via Istanbul: Air Arabia takes you to Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gokcen, and Air Astana and Pegasus fly on to Atyrau. A third path goes through Almaty or Astana with a domestic flight on Air Astana, SCAT or FlyArystan.

Baku usually means the smallest detour, Istanbul offers more departures during the day, and a Kazakh hub is handy if you want a stopover in Almaty or Astana. Since the connection is made outside Kazakhstan, check in advance whether you need a transit visa.
