Heydar Aliyev International Airport Deputy Director Elnur Zulfigarov has said that the airport is open to all international airlines, according to Trend.

He made the remarks during a press conference on the first FlyArystan flight from Aktau to Baku.

'Today's first FlyArystan flight was scheduled to launch in March 2020, but due to the pandemic, it was postponed. The launch of flights by low-cost companies will allow our citizens to fly at competitive prices,' he said.

He recalled that starting April 5, the low-cost Azerbaijani airline Buta Airways begins to operate regular flights on the Baku-Aktau-Baku route.

Furthermore, speaking at a press conference, Kazakh ambassador Serzhan Abdykarimov stated that the launch of the flight on the route Aktau-Baku-Aktau will allow Azerbaijan-Kazakh relations to be strengthened.

'Our businessmen will be able to fly to each other more often, which will strengthen our economic relations. Stimulates the implementation of investment projects,' he said.

The ambassador also stressed that the increase in flights to Kazakhstan will reduce the cost of flights for passengers from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
