 | British Airways to open daily flights |
Chairman of the executive council of “British Airways” Des Hetherington told a news conference Thursday dedicated to the first anniversary of the company’s Baku office that starting from March the Baku-London-Baku flights had been executed 6 days a week (every day except Tuesday). He added that the number of passengers had risen 23% in the past year, which has enabled the opening of daily flights.
According to D. Hetherington, 23,000 passengers have flown with BA in the past year. An average of 70% of tickets, or 89 passengers per flight, are claimed, mostly by foreigners. In the first months of 2001, the company’s incomes surged almost 30% to 2000.
Since 2002, British Airways intends to employ A321-200 aircraft for the Baku flights, which are noted for better service and more business class seats. Also under consideration is opening of the Baku-Bishkek-Baku flights.
Mr. Hetherington indicated that the quality of service at the Bina airport has improved, while AzAL has created favorable environment for British Airways.*
