Talks of the sides on the resumption of flights of the Hungarian airline to Azerbaijan will take place in the near future, AZAL said.

“The Azerbaijani side agreed to the implementation of flights by Wizz Air in March 2016,” the press-service said. “It should be noted that the Azerbaijani side has repeatedly appealed to Wizz Air with a proposal for implementation of flights in summer and winter of 2015, but received no response.”
