Ambassador: We would like our Azerbaijani friends to come and visit Pakistan

Pakistan is ready to implement flights to Azerbaijan, Pakistani ambassador to Azerbaijan Bilal Hayee told Report.

According to him, they see that AZAL (Azerbaijani airlines) is also ready for that.

"We are simply waiting for the visa procedures to begin because the flights will be commercially profitable, if people can travel and, for travel, they need visas," he said.

"At the same time, the government of Azerbaijan suspended visa issuance for the citizens of Pakistan and other countries. We hope that as soon as the procedure of visa issuance resumes, direct flights between Baku and Islamabad will start," the ambassador said.

According to him, the direct Baku-Islamabad flight will take three hours. "It will be a great opportunity for business visits, as well as for tourists. As soon as the flights begin, we expect an inflow of tourists."
