Azerbaijan Airlines has announced the launch of its first-ever direct flights to the Maldives, set to commence on November 8, 2024. Known for its lush greenery, crystal-clear waters, and iconic white-sandy beaches, the Maldives typically sees an influx of visitors towards the end of the year, as travellers from around the world flock to the tropical paradise for their holiday getaways.
The introduction of Azerbaijan Airlines into the Maldives' flight network will further enhance connectivity for both Maldivians and tourists, opening up new possibilities for exploring both Azerbaijan and the Maldives.

Travellers can depart from Baku on Fridays and Saturdays, with return flights from Malé scheduled for Saturdays and Mondays.
Tickets for these inaugural flights are already available, with roundtrip fares starting at USD 633, making the journey both accessible and competitive for travellers. For those dreaming of the Maldives' luxury resorts and pristine beaches, this new route offers an exciting new way to reach the idyllic islands.
With the festive season fast approaching, the launch of this new flight route adds another layer of excitement for those planning a tropical escape, and for Maldivians looking to explore the vibrant culture of Azerbaijan.
