Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL), one of AZCON Holding companies, is launching flights to the Turkish city of Kars. With the addition of Kars as Azerbaijan Airlines' ninth destination in the brotherly country, Türkiye becomes the country with the highest number of destinations in the airline's route network. The launch of flights to Kars will not only meet the growing passenger demand between Azerbaijan and Türkiye but also contribute to the further expansion of air connectivity between the two countries, AZAL told APA-Economics.
The first flight on the new route will be operated on July 30.
Flights on the Baku–Kars–Baku route will operate twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays. Tickets for the new destination are already on sale.
"Kars, one of Türkiye's historically and touristically significant cities, stands out with its rich historical heritage, architectural monuments, and unique culture. The city is known for the ancient city of Ani, which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the historic Kars Castle, and the Sarıkamış ski resort, which attracts great interest from international tourists during the winter season. In addition, the Kars region offers travelers a unique experience with its local cuisine and natural beauty," the statement said.
The new route will provide passengers living in the eastern regions of Türkiye, as well as those traveling from Azerbaijan, with a convenient and direct travel option to a new destination. In addition to tourism trips, the flights will also offer additional opportunities for family visits and business travel.
Tickets can be purchased through the airline's official website, the AZAL mobile application, and accredited agencies.
