Azerbaijan removes PCR-test requirement for domestic flights

Azerbaijan's Prime Minister Ali Asadov has signed a decision to amend the "Temporary Rules for the Organization of Flights and Passenger Transportation by Air in the Republic of Azerbaijan during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic", dated June 11, 2020.

During domestic flights, passengers will not be required to have a PCR test certificate in connection with COVID-19. Moreover, medical staff will not take a swab for a PCR test connected with COVID-19 from those who arrive at Heydar Aliyev International Airport via domestic flights.

In another change, passengers on domestic flights will only be checked for an identity card (passport) and a ticket for the respective flight, while previously they were required to take a COVID-19 test 48 hours before departure.
