Azerbaijan Airlines will resume direct flights between Baku and New Delhi as of August 9, in partnership with Zeal Global Group.
Azerbaijan is currently seeing an increase in the number of travellers from India. With daily flights between Baku and New Delhi, the number of arrivals from the country is expected to grow further.
"Right before the pandemic, India was among the top 10 countries we received travellers from. Since the opening of international borders between the countries, India is once again placed at the top of this list. Azerbaijan is ready to welcome Indian travellers to enjoy picturesque places surrounded breath-taking nature, rich gastronomy, great venues and services for MICE events as well as weddings”, said Florian Sengstschmid, Chief Executive Officer of the Azerbaijan Tourism Board.
Direct flights between the capitals of Azerbaijan and India will be operated twice a week: flights from Baku on Tuesdays and Fridays, and flights from New Delhi on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
