Air Astana and Procurall Solutions recently unveiled a premium bedding collection that combines luxury, sustainability and Kazakh heritage. Launched this year, the range of soft goods is available on Air Astana’s long-haul flights and reinforces the airline’s elevated service as its network expands.
The collection includes a full suite of premium bedding for Business Class, including duvets, pillowcases and headrest covers—along with a coordinating line for Sleeper Economy that complements Business Class while maintaining its own identity.

Procurall Solutions teamed up with Air Astana’s inflight team to meet market demands for lightweight design, sustainable materials and comfort while advancing ESG commitments. “This close cooperation ensured that the launch of our new soft goods met both our quality and environmental goals,” explains Aigerim Zhambyl, Air Astana’s Senior Manager of Inflight Product.
The collection uses renewable fabrics such as RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate), made from used PET bottles and post-consumer waste. Flat-pack packaging reduces shipping volume and environmental impact, while textiles blend recycled and natural fibers chosen for breathability, softness and longevity. “This delivers a solution that feels indulgent yet performs reliably,” shares Fabienne Faure, Managing Director at Procurall Solutions.
The collection’s design strengthens passenger connection to the airline’s roots. “We incorporated a ‘Gauhar’ ornament, which was created to celebrate Kazakhstan’s rich cultural heritage,” notes Zhambyl.
“A geometric motif reinterprets traditional patterns through a modern lens, creating visual cohesion across the collection,” further explains Faure.
The launch builds on years of collaboration. “Air Astana initially worked together with Procurall Solutions on New Year blankets for Business Class,” recalls Zhambyl, noting that the blankets quickly became passenger favorites. The new collection, featuring a generously sized 180x120 centimeter Business Class blanket, has earned high praise so far.
“We are proud to support Air Astana in delivering a bedding program that is as intentional as it is comfortable,” says Faure. “Every element, from the embroidered branding to the hand-feel of each textile, was considered to create a truly elevated inflight experience.”
