On December 21 President of CJSC "Azerbaijan Airlines" (AZAL) Jahangir Asgarov met with the delegation headed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mongolian Airlines (MIAT) Tamir Tumurbaatar in Baku.

Both sides discussed issues of bilateral cooperation between Azerbaijan and Mongolia in the field of civil aviation, as well as long-term plans in increasing passenger and freight traffic.

It was noted that the infrastructure created in the field of civil aviation, as well as advantageous geographical location of Azerbaijan, where "Great Silk Road" passes, will create good opportunities to supply goods through our territory to European and the Pacific Rim countries.

Following the meeting, it was decided to establish a joint working group of representatives of AZAL and MIAT. Its first meeting is scheduled for next year in Ulan Bator, where detailed proposals on the prospects of cooperation will be discussed.
