Azerbaijan is considering a major tourism boost through a potential direct flight with China Eastern Airlines. The airline is exploring a new route between Shanghai and Baku, which could significantly increase visitor numbers. The initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen bilateral ties in aviation and tourism.
Officials from Azerbaijan have expressed interest in closer collaboration with Chinese airlines, aiming to attract more international tourists. The proposed flight would reduce travel time and make Azerbaijan more accessible to Chinese travelers. This could lead to a rise in both short-term and long-term visitors.
The move follows growing interest in Azerbaijani tourism, particularly in cultural and historical sites. Previous discussions between the two countries have focused on improving infrastructure and promoting joint tourism campaigns. This new potential route would align with Azerbaijan’s strategy to diversify its tourism sector and increase economic opportunities.
