SUBJECT: BLANKET OVERFLIGHT GRANTED BY AZERBAIJAN UNTIL THE
END OF 2007 FOR OEF AND OIF FLIGHTS
1. (SBU) The Government of Azerbaijan has extended for one
year blanket diplomatic overflight clearance for all US
Government and contract flights in support of Operation
Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi
Freedom (OIF) in Iraq. The GOAJ renewed this important
support for the war against terror in a diplomatic note dated
January 16, 2007. From both a political and an operational
point of view, the GOAJ,s continued blanket overflight
clearance is extremely important. In 2006, there were 561
planes which passed through Azerbaijani air space and 175
planes which required overflight and landing permission in
Azerbajian, in support of OEF and OIF.
