Azerbaijan Airlines to fly Baku-New Delhi from June 25

June 24, 2019: Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) will start chartered flights on a Boeing-757, linking India and Azerbaijan, from Baku to New Delhi effective June 25.

The chartered flights will be carried out every Tuesday and Friday and their frequency will double by September/October this year.

The airline has said that regular flights will soon be added to further support the growth of tourism interest between the countries. Azerbaijan is one of the 41 countries in the world allowing Indians to acquire a visa on arrival with a simplified electronic visa procedure.

The new route will depart from the Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) and arrive in Baku via Terminal 1 of the Heydar Aliyev International Airport. Air tickets can be booked online at www.azal.az and purchased through the offices of AZAL's official agents.

“India is a key market for us with immense potential due to the high number of international travellers and their growing interest in the region. We are excited to announce the first ever direct flight between Baku and New Delhi, India’s capital, to boost the flow of tourists to Azerbaijan. From UNECSO World Heritage Sites, outdoor activities, to phenomenal shopping experiences, Azerbaijan offers the perfect landscape for Indian travellers of all types,” said Florian Sengstschmid, CEO of Azerbaijan Tourism Board.

“The commencement of direct flights offers new opportunities for travellers to explore Azerbaijan’s unique stories and revelations, which is in line with our strategy to enhance our destination value and double the current in-bound tourism by 2023. With our excellent air accessibility, we look forward to welcoming new visitors and strengthening our tourism proposition and presence in South Asia,” he added.
