The aircraft is configured in a two-class layout featuring 16 seats in business class and 150 seats in economy.

The Air Astana Group now operates a fleet of 40 aircraft, comprising 32 Airbus A320/A321 family aircraft, three Boeing 767 and five Embraer E2. The average age of the fleet is 3.8 years.
