Pakistan’s Airblue preparing to open Baku–Lahore route

Heydar Aliyev International Airport is expanding its international partnerships with the launch of Airblue flights on the Baku–Lahore route, according to the airport’s press service.

The entry of Airblue—one of Pakistan’s leading low-cost carriers—into the Baku market is seen as an important step in developing air connectivity between Azerbaijan and South Asia, Caliber.Az reports via local media.

Flights on the new route will operate twice a week, on Tuesdays and Sundays. This is expected to provide passengers with greater flexibility in travel planning and make flights between Baku and Lahore more accessible and convenient.

The Baku–Lahore route is already served by Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) and Pakistan International Airlines. The addition of Airblue is expected to increase competition on the route, boost overall passenger traffic, and help meet growing demand.

Heydar Aliyev International Airport continues to strengthen Azerbaijan’s position as a regional aviation hub through the steady expansion of its international route network.
