Okay, sounds like a challenge from Udachi Moya! So here goes.....! The A319 was originally acquired to fly routes from Astana, currently flown by Fokker 50s. Routes such as TSE/UKK. This upgrade would initially be unprofitable but with time the jet upgrade would generate more traffic. The same with putting one more A320 into Astana. The financial problems caused these plans to be changed, and also for new planned routes from Astana to be dropped. Aktau to Moscow (a fairly new route) was dropped because of low loads and again an unwillingness to accept losses while load factors built up. And HAJ is dropped after the summer. So the three new Airbuses due this summer will now be employed on existing routes, and only one will go to Astana, instead of the two planned. There are also worries about load factors on all routes. The company attempted to find other homes for them but could not. Now the company has managed to get back to profitability but the summer will be very difficult. Traditionally this period is the most profitable but three new leases to pay for and having to change the utilisation of these aircraft leaves management worried about the finances.
