Air communication was established between Batumi and Baku. Head of the
government of the Ajara Autonomous Republic Levan Varshalomidze and
Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) Director General discussed this issue at
the meeting, the Ajara government told Trend Capital.

Flights will be carried out in June and the aircraft will fly on the
Baku-Tbilisi-Batumi route three times a week.
"The first negotiations to establish the air communication between
Batumi and Baku took place two months ago during my visit to Baku and
at the meeting with AZAL management. Owe aim to provide delivery of
the Azerbaijani tourists to the Georgian Black sea shores. We think
the Azerbaijani segment in a tourist flow in Ajara may seriously
increase," Varshalomidze said.
He said this flight can be used as an alternative transit way.
