All scheduled flights to Nakhchivan are currently operating in normal mode and according to the established schedule, despite the evolving geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
The "Azerbaijan Airlines" CJSC (AZAL) provided this information to the Operative Information Center-OMM. The national carrier emphasized that while some international routes may be subject to review due to regional instability, the domestic connection to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic remains unaffected.
According to the statement, AZAL continues to closely monitor the tense situation in the Middle East. All necessary measures are being taken to ensure the full safety of flights, and passengers will be promptly informed of any potential changes. Passengers seeking additional information can contact the airline directly via email at [email protected].
The announcement comes as Israel conducted strikes against targets in Iran today to neutralize perceived threats, leading to the declaration of a state of emergency across Israeli territory. Consequently, several international carriers have adjusted their flight paths or suspended services to cities like Dubai and Tel Aviv to ensure passenger safety.
The Baku-Nakhchivan flight route is a vital transport link for Azerbaijan, as the exclave of Nakhchivan is separated from the main part of the country. Maintaining this air corridor is a strategic priority for the Republic of Azerbaijan, ensuring the continuous movement of citizens and essential supplies regardless of regional external factors.
