The second flight carrying Kazakh citizens evacuated from Ukraine arrived in Kazakhstan yesterday evening. The repatriation flight operated by the domestic airline Air Astana landed at the airport in Nur-Sultan. A total of 124 citizens returned to their homeland.
“We’re fine. We’ve safely arrived, and that’s all that matters. Everything else is secondary, and I don’t want to think about it. All we want now is just to get home and rest,” a passenger said.
“The road from Kryvyi Rih took five hours. Then, when the evacuation to Lviv began, I arrived at the Kazakh Embassy. We were received and placed in an organized manner. They arranged evacuation through the city of Katowice in Poland. I haven’t watched the news lately, but when I left, there were fights everywhere,” another passenger shared.
The first repatriation flight carrying 175 passengers had previously arrived in Almaty. It was reported that the domestic carrier will make a total of three flights.
