AIRSPACE MANAGEMENT

On 4 July 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the Rules for Use of Airspace and Conduct of Flights, adopted by Resolution No. 198. The Rules establish procedures for the use of airspace mandatory for all flight operators nationwide, including operators of unmanned aircraft systems. Foreign aircraft must comply with the Rules when flying in the country's airspace.

Just as the Rules of Ensuring Airworthiness and Serviceability of Civil Aircraft Registered in Foreign State and Implementing Requirements for Flight Crew and Flight Documentation, the new Rules are based on the Law, On Aviation, and the Chicago Convention; the Rules also refer to Annexes 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 14 to the Convention, as well as the international standards and recommended practices by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Updates that ICAO makes to the Annexes are incorporated into the Rules to the extent not contradicting Azerbaijani law.
