Azerbaijan Airlines has launched a direct flight between the country’s capital- Baku to India’s capital- Delhi. A first of its kind, it is also the only direct flight connecting the two countries. This move will surely provide a boost to tourism.
The flight is scheduled to operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays between Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi and Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku.
“India ranks very high in our list of priorities. It offers immense potential due to the high number of international travellers and their growing interest in the region. With the launch of the direct route between Baku and New Delhi, we are confident that it would boost the flow of tourists to Azerbaijan. We expect to double the capacity of flights on this route by October 2019,” says Jamil Manizade, Director of Azerbaijan Airlines.
“An Eastern country with a Western outlook, Baku is known as the Pearl of the Caucasus, combining history, culture and modernity. It is a vibrant city offering safe and attractive settings along the Caspian Sea. From UNESCO World Heritage Sites to phenomenal shopping experiences, outdoor activities, luxury hotels and beautiful venues for weddings and honeymoons, Azerbaijan is a perfect destination for couples, families and friends,” adds Manizade.
