How to get from Yerevan to Atyrau: your flight options

There is no non-stop Yerevan — Atyrau flight: Atyrau airport has no direct service to Armenia.

The first scenario is a connection in Almaty or Astana: the non-stop FlyOne Armenia flight from Yerevan, then a domestic leg to Atyrau with Air Astana, FlyArystan or SCAT Airlines. The second is a connection in Istanbul: Atyrau has non-stop flights from both Istanbul airports, so check which one appears on your ticket when you book.

The Istanbul routing is geographically shorter, while going via Almaty or Astana offers more onward domestic departures. Since this is an international trip with a connection, check whether you need a transit visa in the connecting country.
