BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 17. Starting from
October this year, Wizz Air will launch direct flights on the
Baku–Bratislava route.
This was reported by the press office of Heydar Aliyev
International Airport.
The statement notes that, Heydar Aliyev International Airport
continues to expand its international route network, providing
passengers with greater choice and more accessible travel
opportunities. Today, nearly half of the airlines operating at the
airport follow low-cost or hybrid business models.
"Currently, around 20 low-cost and hybrid airlines operate
direct flights from Baku to more than 20 international
destinations. Through carriers such as Wizz Air, Pegasus Airlines,
Air Arabia, flydubai, flynas and others, passengers can travel
directly to Budapest, Rome, Istanbul, Tashkent, Dubai, Sharjah,
Antalya, Aktau and many other cities. A variety of fare options and
flexible flight schedules allow travellers to choose services that
best suit their budgets and travel needs.
In 2026, the route network continued to expand with new
destinations. FLYONE Asia has launched scheduled flights to
Tashkent, while FLYONE has commenced scheduled services to
Chisinau. In addition, Wizz Air will launch direct flights on the
Baku–Bratislava route starting in October this year.
The attraction of new airlines and the expansion of the route
network form an integral part of Heydar Aliyev International
Airport's long-term strategy to strengthen its international
connectivity. This approach not only provides passengers with a
wider choice of destinations and fare options but also contributes
to enhancing Azerbaijan's connectivity within the global air
transport network," the airport says.
