RAWALPINDI: Azerbaijan Airlines announced on Tuesday that it is set to initiate direct flights to Karachi from next month, with the first flight tentatively scheduled for April 18.

The airline, also called AZAL, said the move aimed to “enhance connectivity between the two countries”.

Karachi will be the third city in Pakistan to have direct flights from AZAL, following the launch of flights from Baku to Islamabad and Baku to Lahore, the airline said.

The airline’s first flight from Baku to Karachi is scheduled for April 18. Flights on this route will be operated twice a week.
