"The opening of direct land flights to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic can increase traffic by two to three times." This was stated by the press secretary of the State Motor Transport Service (DANX) Nurida Allahyarova. "Azerbaijani citizens were going to Nakhchivan via Iran. At that time, they passed customs inspections about four times.
At that time, they reached Nakhchivan in 12 hours. To prevent this, Azerbaijan made local proposals. As a result, in 2019, customs inspections were halved and the number of hours was reduced to eight hours. Imagine that if Azerbaijan travels to Nakhchivan from its own territory, this period will be much lower. It should be noted that 41,379 passengers were transported on Baku-Nakhchivan bus routes in 2019.
