Aircraft operated by Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL), performing flights J2-285 and J2-291 on the Baku–Nakhchivan route, were forced to return to Baku due to severe weather conditions, including thunderstorms and hail in the region.

According to Report, both aircraft successfully landed at Heydar Aliyev International Airport at 21:27 and 21:32 respectively.

According to AZAL's press service, adverse weather conditions are expected to continue, and passengers will be informed about possible schedule changes. Flights will resume normal operations once the weather stabilizes.

The airline noted that unstable weather conditions in Nakhchivan in recent days have disrupted the planned Baku–Nakhchivan–Baku flight schedule.

Due to Nakhchivan's geographical location and mountainous terrain, wind, reduced visibility, and rapidly changing meteorological conditions often directly affect flight operations. For this reason, operational decisions are being made in real time to ensure flight safety.
