Israelis Fuel Azerbaijani Tourism Boom as Baku Expands Tel Aviv Flights
Israeli tourism to Azerbaijan jumped 139% in 2025 from 2024, with Israelis spending about 184 million NIS ($59 million). Officials attribute the rise to long-standing ties and expanded flights, including plans to double weekly Ben-Gurion–Baku flights from 14 to 28, as Baku markets itself as a safe, diverse destination beyond the capital.
