Baku. Nijat Mustafayev â€“ APA-Economics. British Midland International, Heathrowâ€™s second largest airline, has announced a brand new route from Baku to Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan.

Flights to Bishkek will operate three times per week from Heydar Aliyev International Airport on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Leyli Alakbarova, bmiâ€™s Key Account Manager in Azerbaijan, said: â€œbmi is thrilled to announce the launch of these new flights from Baku to Bishkek, which is a great addition to bmiâ€™s existing services in Azerbaijan. One of the youngest capitals of the Former Soviet Union with its sandy beaches and impressive administrative centers, Bishkek will surely have something to offer for every kind of visitor.â€

The new route also means that those wishing to travel from Bishkek to London Heathrow will now travel via Baku instead of Almaty.
