AZAL adds Brussels to European destinations with four weekly flights PHOTO

Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) is expanding its European network with the launch of direct scheduled flights between Baku and Brussels, marking a new step in strengthening connectivity between Azerbaijan and the European Union.

The airline told Caliber.Az that tickets for the new route are already on sale, with the inaugural flight scheduled for May 8, 2027.

Flights on the Baku–Brussels–Baku route will operate four times a week — on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

The new service is expected to boost business, tourism and cultural ties between Azerbaijan and Belgium, while offering passengers a direct link to one of Europe’s leading political, economic and transport centres.

Brussels, which hosts the headquarters of the European Union and NATO, is a major global hub for diplomacy and international business. The city is also renowned for its historic landmarks, including the Grand Place and the Atomium, as well as its museums, cuisine and distinctive atmosphere, making it one of Europe’s most popular travel destinations.

In addition to its global significance, Brussels serves as a key transport hub, providing convenient connections to major European cities. Amsterdam can be reached in around two hours, while Luxembourg, Cologne and other destinations are also easily accessible.

Tickets can be purchased via AZAL’s official website, mobile application, ticket offices and accredited travel agencies.
