Russia’s Ural Airlines will start to carry out flights on the St. Petersburg-Baku route from late May.

The first flight will be carried out on May 27. The flights will be implemented twice a week on Airbus A320 planes, the company reported.

On Saturdays, departure from St. Petersburg will be carried out at 07:55 (UTC/GMT+3) with the arrival at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku at 12:35 (UTC/GMT+4). The return flight from Baku is scheduled for 13:35 with arrival in St. Petersburg at 16:30.

On Thursdays, departure from St. Petersburg will be carried out at 10:30 (UTC/GMT+3) with the arrival at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku at 15:10 (UTC/GMT+4). The return flight from Baku will be carried out at 16:10 with arrival at the Pulkovo International Airport at 19:05.

Tickets are already available for booking on the company’s official website.

Ural Airlines obtained permission in February 2017 from Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) to fly from St. Petersburg to Baku.

Neighboring Russians choose Azerbaijan as their travel destination for many reasons. First of all the Land of Fire does not require visa for Russian tourists to enjoy the country.

Azerbaijan is also a perfect destination for Russian tourists, because of its people’s very friendly attitude towards Russia. Here Russian-speaking tourists have no problem with communication, as Azerbaijanis speak Russian well enough to help with any difficulties.

The capital Baku is on the Caspian Sea, but also home to oil drilling derricks and futuristic skyscrapers. The Caucasus Mountains are as earthy as you can get, peppered with traditional elevated villages such as Lahic, where subsistence farming and traditional art forms still alive. And then there is fire. Everywhere. From the permanently alight natural gas ‘flaming mountain’ of Yanardag to fire worshippers’ temple Ateshgah, both on the Absheron Peninsula. And as for air, just head to the omnipresent mountains, ideal for visiting any time of year, whether summer or winter.
