Air Arabia launches new flights to Baku

Air Arabia, the first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC) in the Middle East and North Africa along with Sharjah Tourism Board recently launched its inaugural service to Baku. This new flight marks Air Arabia’s first entrance into Azerbaijan- a culture-rich country with a fast-emerging appeal for tourism and its expanding travel market. Flights to Baku will depart from Sharjah just conveniently connecting to India cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai etc . The new route aims at boosting tourism in the country.

Baku, in its essence, resembles a harmonious blend of Europe and Asia, and acts as the financial hub of Azerbaijan. The city is a true example of past-meets-future, offering it all from skyscrapers and modern boutiques, to important historical sites. The new flight adds to the growing list of “short holiday” destinations served by Air Arabia. Baku etched its name in international sports by hosting the European Grand Prix. Furthermore, the Caucasus city has recently been named a host for the UEFA Euro 2020 football championship.

Adel Al Ali, group CEO, Air Arabia said, “We are excited to announce this service, and hope that our passengers enjoy our esteemed offerings. We are confident that this initiative will establish Baku as a destination of choice for true cultural experiences, and will positively contribute to the rapidly-growing tourism industry in Azerbaijan.”
