Bulgaria and Azerbaijan discuss accelerated restoration of Sofia-Baku airline

The accelerated restoration of the air line between Sofia and Baku was among the main topics of discussion between the Minister of Transport and Communications Georgi Gvozdeykov and the Ambassador of Azerbaijan to our country H.E. Hussein Husseinov.

The two capitals have the potential to become aviation transit hubs for connecting flights between Europe and Asia, it was noted during the meeting. "This could ensure the necessary 70% filling of the flight capacity to achieve cost-effectiveness," Minister Gvozdeykov stressed.

"Bulgaria and Azerbaijan are priority partners with strategic geographical positions and we need to develop this potential with better cooperation at institutional level," Ambassador Husseinov said. Transport connectivity, energy, trade and economic cooperation were identified as areas with the greatest potential.
