Azerbaijan Airlines has indefinitely suspended flights between Baku and the Russian city of Kazan following the closure of airspace above the region, the carrier said in a statement.
The decision to suspend this route follows the recent crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines flight travelling between Baku and the Russian city of Grozny.
The flight deviated from its course on December 25, 2024, and crash-landed in a field near Aktau, Kazakhstan. The cause of the incident remains under investigation.
The airline cited safety concerns as the primary reason for suspending operations on the route.
