Azerbaijan and Slovenia are in talks to sign an agreement that
would allow the establishment of direct air connections between the
two countries, Azernews reports.
According to “Ex-Yu Aviation News,” Slovenian Minister of
Economy, Tourism, and Sports Matyaj Han stated that direct flights
would be a significant step toward expanding economic cooperation
and strengthening bilateral ties.
Minister Han highlighted that relations between the two
countries are developing positively and that in recent years,
collaboration has increased actively, particularly in logistics,
transport routes, energy, digitalization, and the pharmaceutical
sector.
He also noted that there are currently no regular flights
between Slovenia and Azerbaijan, but negotiations on the relevant
agreement are ongoing. “Regular air connections will help reinforce
economic relations between our countries,” Han said.
In addition, tourist traffic remains relatively low. Between
January and August 2025, only 553 Slovenian tourists visited
Azerbaijan. In this context, the minister proposed that the tourism
authorities of both countries explore closer cooperation, including
organizing familiarization trips for journalists, influencers, and
tour operators.
