Starting from June 1, 2026, SCAT Airlines is launching a new regular international flight on the Shymkent – Saint Petersburg route. Flights will operate twice a week — on Mondays and Fridays, providing convenient and direct air travel between southern Kazakhstan and Russia’s northern capital.
The new route expands SCAT Airlines’ international network and creates additional opportunities for tourism, business travel, and personal visits. Direct flights significantly reduce travel time and simplify trip planning.
Saint Petersburg — a city of culture and heritage
Saint Petersburg is one of the world’s most iconic cultural destinations. Famous for its architectural ансамбles, world-class museums, theatres, and historic landmarks, the city attracts millions of visitors each year. The Hermitage Museum, Nevsky Prospect, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, and the White Nights make Saint Petersburg attractive in every season.
The new direct connection from Shymkent allows travelers to reach this cultural center comfortably and without transfers.
Comfort and reliability
Flights on the Shymkent – Saint Petersburg route will be operated using modern aircraft from the SCAT Airlines fleet. The airline prioritizes passenger safety, comfort, and high service standards throughout the entire journey.
The convenient flight schedule is suitable for both short weekend trips and longer stays.
