BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 30. Air service
between Azerbaijan and Mongolia will be established, according to a
Trend correspondent.


This issue was discussed today at a plenary session of the
Azerbaijani parliament.


Meanwhile, it is reported that the “Agreement between the
Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Government of
Mongolia on Air Services” was signed on May 6, 2026, in
Leipzig.


The agreement establishes the legal framework for establishing
international air services between the Republic of Azerbaijan and
Mongolia, organizing the transport of passengers, baggage, cargo,
and mail on agreed-upon routes, and regulates the activities of
airlines designated by the parties.


Under the Agreement, each party grants the other party the right
to fly over its territory without landing, to make stops in that
territory for noncommercial purposes, and to provide transportation
on the routes specified in the annex. Each party may designate one
or more airlines to operate the agreed-upon services, and may amend
or revoke such designations.


Designated airlines are provided with fair and equal
opportunities to perform the agreed-upon services. The agreement
provides for the setting of tariffs at a reasonable level, as well
as the prior submission of transportation programs for
approval.


The agreement provides for exemption from customs duties and
taxes for aircraft used in international air services, their
standard equipment, fuel and lubricants, supplies, and certain
other specified goods. In addition, the agreement provides for the
transfer, in freely convertible currency, of the revenues of
designated airlines earned in the territory of the state where the
sale takes place, net of expenses.







The parties reaffirm their international obligations to prevent
acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation and provide
mutual assistance in the event of such threats. The agreement also
regulates the mutual recognition of certificates and licenses,
consultations on safety matters, and ramp inspections of
aircraft.


According to the annex of the Agreement, the following points
have been designated for airlines designated by the Azerbaijani
side in the Republic of Azerbaijan: Baku, Ganja, Nakhchivan,
Lankaran, Gabala, and Zagatala; and in Mongolia: Ulaanbaatar,
Khovd, and Choybalsan. Intermediate and additional points will be
determined at a later date.


Designated airlines are permitted to enter into seat-blocking
agreements or code-sharing agreements.


Disputes concerning the interpretation or application of this
Agreement are settled primarily through negotiations. If a
settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, the parties may
agree to refer the dispute to an appropriate person or body; if no
such agreement is reached, the dispute will be referred to an
arbitral tribunal.


The draft law on the ratification of the “Agreement
between the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the
Government of Mongolia on Air Services” was put to a vote following
discussion and adopted on first reading.
