Ambassador Stalder congratulated President Askerov for such a decision and positive news for our two countries which enjoy excellent and friendly relations with a steady trend towards more business and people-to-people contacts. He also expressed the Embassy’s readiness to contribute to AZAL’s efforts to promote the new flight destination to Geneva through its own channels and offered a meeting between officials from Switzerland’s tourism promotion agency ‘Tourism Switzerland’ (www.myswitzerland.com) and officials from Azerbaijan.

According to information provided by AZAL, the flights will be carried out twice a week on Tuesday and Friday, with Airbus 319, with 60 seats. The flight will have three classes: VVIP, Business and Economy. Flight duration will be four hours.
