The Committee on International and Inter-Parliamentary Relations of the Parliament of Azerbaijan held a discussion on a draft law regarding the "Agreement on Air Communication between the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Government of Mongolia." This document, aimed at creating a legal framework for organizing air communication between the two states, was signed on May 6, 2026, in Leipzig, Germany.

According to the agreement, Azerbaijani air carriers will be able to operate flights from Baku, Ganja, Nakhchivan, Lankaran, Gabala, and Zagatala to Mongolian cities: Ulaanbaatar, Khovd, and Choibalsan. Similarly, Mongolian airlines will be granted the right to fly to the specified Azerbaijani cities.

Key terms and regulatory norms of the agreement:

Cooperation of airlines: The parties may designate one or more air carriers, allowing them to cooperate under code-sharing agreements and seat sharing.

Approval of schedules: Summer and winter flight programs must be submitted to the aviation authorities of the other party 45 days before the start of flights, and a decision on them will be made by the competent authority within 20 days.

Tariff policy: The agreement stipulates the establishment of ticket prices at a reasonable level, which will help protect passengers from artificially inflated prices and prevent dumping by air carriers.

Customs exemptions: Aircraft, fuel, lubricants, and spare parts for international flights will be exempt from customs duties and fees, subject to certain conditions.

The agreement will enter into force after the last written notification of the completion of all necessary domestic procedures by both parties is received.
