Lawyer Ablay Baitenov won a first-instance court case against the airline FlyArystan following an incident on the Shymkent — Almaty flight. The court awarded 704,322 tenge from the carrier.
WHAT IS KNOWN
As reported by Ablay Baitenov, the first-instance court upheld his claims against the airline. The lawyer was awarded 200,000 tenge in compensation for moral harm, 502,183 tenge in legal costs and a 2,139 tenge fine for the flight delay.
Thus, the total amount awarded was 704,322 tenge. The bulk of it consists of legal costs and compensation for moral harm.
At the same time, the ruling was made by a first-instance court, so FlyArystan has the right to appeal.
CONTEXT
The incident occurred on 9 July at Shymkent airport. Passengers were held on the plane for about 45 minutes with the doors closed and no working air conditioning at an air temperature of +36.2°C.
Baitenov also claims that one of the passengers fell unwell and required assistance.
