The number of Baku-Minsk-Baku flights will be increased to four per week in summer and two per week in winter, Belarusian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Nikolai Patskevich said at a news conference on Feb. 4.

The reason for the increase in the number of flights is a rise in number of passengers and interest in these flights. The diplomat did not specify the time to increase frequency of flights.

"Belarus [Belavia - Belarusian Airlines] and Azerbaijan [AZAL - Azerbaijan Airlines] are negotiating to increase the number of flights. There is no doubt that the number will be increased," said Patskevich.

The Baku-Minsk-Baku flight is operated only on Thursdays by AZAL and Belavia, AZAL said on Feb. 4. AZAL operates flights at 09:00 and Belavia - at 04:05 in Baku time.

A one-way ticket costs 251 manat and a return ticket costs 365 manat.

"Interest in these flights is certainly growing. Airliners are always full," said Patskevich.
