On Friday, at the plenary session of the Parliament MP Chingiz Ganizade accused the state company "AZAL" in illegal collections. The MP said that a few days ago he returned from Turkey, asked during registration to give him a place ahead, and they asked for it additional $30.
"Passengers buy tickets for the high prices, why should we pay extra for a seat in front? The representative of "AZAL" at the Istanbul airport said that such an instruction comes from Baku," said Ganizade. At the same time, the deputy noted that many seats in the plane were empty.
"For example, there were 15 free seats in the business class, but despite this "AZAL" demands an additional fee from passengers. It's extortion," he said. –71В-
