Only passengers who are allowed to fly under the current epidemiological restrictions will be accepted on these flights.

The citizens of Azerbaijan planning to travel to Russia must be eligible to enter the territory of the country. All passengers traveling on these flights should download the “Travel without COVID-19” mobile application on their smartphones. Then a scan of their passport as well as the result of PCR test for COVID-19 should be uploaded to the app. Other rules of entry to Russia during the COVID-19 pandemic can be found on the Airline's website at: https://www.butaairways.az/en/covid/russia.

A list of clinics in Azerbaijan, where passengers can be tested for COVID-19 is available on the official website of the Airline at https://www.butaairways.az/en/covid/clinics.

When departing from the cities of Russia to Azerbaijan, passengers can get tested for COVID-19 in any state-accredited clinic or laboratory that conducts PCR testing. It is recommended to have a QR-code embedded on the certificate confirming its authenticity. This will speed up the formalities at the airport.

The results of the COVID-19 test must be valid for 72 hours before departure.
