Lviv International Airport has started serving the Azerbaijani low cost carrier Buta Airways, which made its first direct flight to Baku from Lviv. The airport’s press service said on its Facebook page the company will fly to Lviv during the winter season on Mondays and Thursdays. The minimum one-way rate is EUR 29.
Some 51 passengers arrived on the first flight, 64 passengers departed. The flight was carried out on board an Embraer 190 aircraft.
“This direction is not new for the airport. For several years it has been operated by the largest Azerbaijani carrier Azal Airlines. But these flights were stopped for the winter season. This year the airline decided to change its policy and transferred the flight to its subsidiary low cost company Buta Airways,” the report says.
Currently, Lviv Airport also serves such low cost airlines as WizzAir, Ryanair, Pegasus, Ernest, and SkyUp.
As reported, Lviv airport in 2018 increased passenger traffic by 48% compared to 2017, to 1.598 million people.
