Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) will launch daily flights to Tehran from December 28.

According to the flight schedule posted on the company's website, currently AZAL carries out flight from Baku to Tehran six times a week, except Saturdays.

The company reported that the company's aircraft will carry out flights from Baku to Tehran and back on Saturdays. Aircraft will depart from Baku at 11:15 local time and arrive in the capital at 13:55 on the same day.

AZAL, the biggest Azerbaijani airline and national flag carrier, offers passenger flights to countries in Europe, the CIS, Middle East and Asia. After purchasing new Boeing aircraft for long-haul flights in 2014, the airline plans to open regular flights to destinations in North America and Southeast Asia.

It cooperates with about 60 airlines to provide its passengers with the opportunity to travel freely around the world.

AZAL was certified by IATA Operational Safety Audit, a program that is an internationally recognized evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline.
