Intense fog at Baku’s Heydar Aliyev International Airport forced three AZAL flights—traveling from Istanbul, Moscow, and Tel Aviv—to be diverted to Ganja International Airport on January13ᵗʰ-14ᵗʰ . The fog caused significant delays, with special flights arranged to transport passengers back to Baku.
On the night of January 13th to 14th, flights operated by Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL), including the Istanbul-Baku (J2-078), Moscow-Baku (J2-808), and Tel Aviv-Baku (J2-322) routes, were redirected to alternative airports due to foggy weather conditions at the destination airport.
According to a statement from AZAL, the aircraft successfully landed at Ganja International Airport.
As per the airline's procedures, passengers awaiting flights at the airport will be provided with necessary amenities if required. For any further inquiries, passengers are advised to contact the airline via email at callcenter@azal.az.
Additionally, a flight from Novosibirsk to Baku operated by the "IrAero" airline, identified as SU95, was also redirected to an alternate airport due to the foggy weather. The decision was made by the captain.
The heavy fog at Baku Airport has caused schedule changes for several flights.
AZAL's press service informed that a special flight crew was sent to Ganja International Airport to transport passengers whose flights had been redirected due to the fog. This was done to ensure flight safety, as the crew's working hours had been completed.
As the weather conditions at Heydar Aliyev International Airport improve, the diverted flights will gradually return to Baku.
In the case of the Moscow-Baku route (J2-808), one of the diverted aircraft has already taken off from Ganja International Airport and successfully landed at Heydar Aliyev International Airport at 10:14 AM. The other two aircraft are currently being prepared for departure.
