Sunday Airlines
Kazakhstan leisure carrier and SCAT Airlines travel brand, operating mainly seasonal and charter flights from Kazakhstan to international holiday destinations.
About Sunday Airlines
Sunday Airlines is a Kazakhstan-based leisure airline established as the travel brand of SCAT Airlines. Its inaugural service, from Almaty to Antalya, operated on 18 May 2013. Although often presented separately to travellers, Sunday Airlines remains closely integrated with its Kazakh parent and is primarily focused on transporting holidaymakers to overseas resort markets.
The airline serves international leisure routes from major Kazakh departure points, including Almaty, Astana and Shymkent. Its network changes with seasonal demand and tour-operator programmes, but commonly reaches Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, Vietnam, China, India, the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates. Many services are sold as part of package holidays rather than maintained as year-round scheduled routes.
Sunday Airlines services use Boeing aircraft from the wider SCAT operation, including Boeing 737-800, 737 MAX, 757-200 and 767-300 models. The narrow-body aircraft suit medium-haul leisure routes, while the larger 757 and 767 can serve busier or longer sectors. Cabin layouts and available service levels may differ by aircraft and charter contract, so passengers should confirm inclusions with their booking provider.
Sunday Airlines is not a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld. Its parent, SCAT Airlines, is an International Air Transport Association member, but Sunday Airlines does not publicise a dedicated frequent-flyer programme. Travellers should therefore assess each fare on its included baggage, seat selection, catering and change conditions rather than expecting alliance-wide benefits or mileage earning.
The carrier's main strength is its direct access from Kazakhstan to destinations that might otherwise require a connection, particularly during peak holiday periods. The trade-off is that a leisure-focused network can change between seasons, while charter tickets may be governed by a tour operator's conditions. Schedule changes, baggage allowances and customer-service arrangements should be checked carefully before departure.
Good to know
Flying with Sunday Airlines — what to expect
Seasonal Route Network
Sunday Airlines concentrates on leisure markets, so destinations and frequencies can change between holiday seasons. Confirm the operating schedule close to departure.
Charter Booking Conditions
Many seats are sold through tour operators or as part of holiday packages. Changes, refunds and support may therefore be handled by the booking company rather than directly by the airline.
Check Baggage Terms
Baggage allowances can vary by fare, route and charter agreement. Use the allowance shown on your ticket or travel documents instead of assuming that SCAT or another flight's policy applies.
Mixed Boeing Fleet
Flights may use Boeing narrow-body or wide-body aircraft depending on demand and route length. Seat layout and onboard amenities can consequently vary between services.
Kazakhstan Departure Points
International holiday flights commonly leave from Almaty, Astana or Shymkent. Check the exact airport and terminal shown on the latest itinerary, particularly for charter departures.
Online Check-In Availability
Online check-in is offered for eligible charter flights, but availability may depend on the departure airport and booking arrangement. Allow extra time at the airport if online check-in is unavailable.
