The first direct flight from Azerbaijan Airlines departing from Baku is anticipated to land at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport tonight, according to the reports. This marks a significant milestone in air travel between the two nations.
Today signifies the beginning of air operations by Azerbaijan’s national airline, offering direct flights between Baku and Karachi. These flights are scheduled to run twice a week, specifically on Thursdays and Sundays.
Ambassador Khazar Farhadov of Azerbaijan will be in attendance to welcome the inaugural flight upon its arrival in Karachi. Furthermore, the debut flight from Karachi to Baku is also scheduled to depart tonight.
Last month, Azerbaijan Airlines unveiled its plans to extend flight operations and network in Pakistan. According to aviation sources, the airline is preparing to launch flights to Karachi starting in April.
The airline is poised to inaugurate its Karachi route, with the debut flight set to depart on April 18, complementing its existing services in Islamabad and Lahore.
Sources within the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) have confirmed that Azerbaijan Airlines has obtained authorization to operate flights on the Karachi route.
The decision to expand Azerbaijan Airlines’ operations in Pakistan follows a bilateral agreement between the two countries.
