Azerbaijan Paves Way for Private Management of State-Owned Airports
Azerbaijan's President has signed a decree establishing a new framework for its aviation sector. This new legislation allows for the transfer of state-owned airports to private operators for management. The primary goals are to increase operational efficiency, improve service quality, and attract foreign investment into the nation's airport infrastructure. The Cabinet of Ministers will be responsible for determining which airports are eligible and the specific terms of the management contracts. This policy shift applies to all international airports across the country, signaling a significant move towards privatization.
