According to the report, NATO has recently addressed Azerbaijan and Georgia and asked for the use of their airspaces during the flight of AWACS planes to Afghanistan. Though Georgia officially allowed it, Azerbaijan didn’t allow the AWACS aircrafts to pass through the air space.

“Azerbaijan allowed the cargo flights to Afghanistan through its air space. But it is impossible to grant such permission because the AWACS aircrafts are the military intelligence aircrafts”, the source underlined.

The similar incident occurred one year ago. The German plane returning from Afghanistan to Europe wasn’t allowed to land in Baku.

AWACS planes, which are supplied with the latest technologies, and considered as “flying radars”, can detect the friendly and enemy planes from up to 400 km away. US-based AWACS aircrafts can show the place, height, speed of about 2000 planes and follow them.
