Kaelis and Air Astana Recognized at the PAX International Awards for Excellence in Economy Travel

Kaelis is delighted to communicate that its collaboration with Air Astana has been recognized at the PAX International Awards, where the amenity kit created for the airline’s Economy passengers was named Best Economy/Premium Economy Kit – Central Asia.

This recognition highlights a project rooted in thoughtful design and shared values. The kit was developed with a clear purpose: to enhance onboard comfort while also aligning with sustainable practices. Packaged in a reusable shoebag crafted from eco-conscious materials, the amenity kit includes essential travel items that blend practicality with a minimal environmental footprint. From bamboo and cardboard-based components to plastic-free packaging, each detail was carefully considered to reflect a responsible and modern approach to onboard service.

The award reflects the close collaboration between the Air Astana and Kaelis teams, and a mutual commitment to improving the passenger experience in ways that are both meaningful and forward-thinking. It also speaks to the growing importance of design that not only meets functional needs but also supports a broader environmental vision.

Kaelis values every opportunity to create with purpose alongside its airline partners, and this recognition is a meaningful moment in a continued journey toward better, more intentional inflight experiences.
