Heydar Aliyev International Airport told APA-Economics that Aerosvit realizes the abovementioned flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays: ‘Yesterday, the plane flying from Kiev landed in Baku at 06.15 and took off again at 07.30. On January 9, Kiev-Baku flight #421 was not operated by the company. The plane should land in Baku at 17.55 and take off again at 19.05. That is why Baku-Kiev flight #422 was not implemented, as well’.

Note that AeroSvit air company has been undergoing difficulties since early December 2012. Kiev region Economic Court has sued bankruptcy case on December 29. Later on the air company has come forth with explanations thus willing to start improvement process. In early January, AeroSvit's bankruptcy led to the cancellation of a number of flights both in the territory of Turkey and out of its borders. Currently the Airlines flights are being delayed all over the world which resulted in accumulation of hundreds of passengers at airports.
