  About Azerbaijan Airlines

Azerbaijan Airlines also referred to as Azal, is the national flag carrier of the country Azerbaijan. It is also the largest airline in the country. Based out of Baku, the airline is adjacent to Heydar Aliyev International Airport. It operates to destinations, predominantly across the Asian continent, the European continent and Commonwealth of Independent States region. The airline is also an active member of the International Air Transport Association. Founded in 1992, Azerbaijan Airlines was recognised as the first national carrier that came into existence after the country realised its independence. The country of Azerbaijan, in 1990, announced that they were planning on setting up a national airline, which would be independent of Aeroflot, the long-time provider of air transport to a slew of Soviet republics. After construction of a management plan, Azerbaijan Airlines was officially founded in 1992 under the presidency of Vagif Sadykhly. Although initially, the airline was formed as a regional branch to Aeroflot, Azerbaijan Airlines eventually managed to set free from the exclusive domain of Aeroflot.

The first flight to operate under Azerbaijan Airlines was a scheduled route from Baku to Istanbul. The flight operation was conducted in a partnership with Turkish Airlines as well as cargo entity Aviasharg was also founded in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates. Azerbaijan Airlines received a massive fleet from Aeroflot which also included 20 Soviet-manufactured aircraft Tupolev airliners. Further, the airline received a few regional airliners and freighters, light aircraft as well as helicopters. Azerbaijan Airlines also leased a pair of its Boeing 727s, but it originally belonged to Pan Am. The airline formed an extensive partnership with Aviation Leasing Group, who leased Azerbaijan Airlines with the Boeing 727s. Following a much-needed joint venture between Azerbaijan Airlines and Aviation Leasing Group's Buffalo Airways, a transatlantic charter cargo was also created as a joint venture. The venture was also used to help train Azerbaijan Airlines' air crews to meet with Western standards, in the US State of Texas. In 1994, the airline commenced a route to Dubai, which became a key source of Wester goods for Azerbaijan, along with Istanbul.

Soon, Azerbaijan Airlines further started accommodating international routes such as Tel Aviv, China, Tehran, London and Saint Petersburg. By mid-1998 though, a string of regional and domestic routes was suspended due to low-profit margins. The airline also needed to work on repairing three of their Yak-40 aircraft. With exceptions of a handful of major destinations, Azerbaijan Airlines further suspended services to its neighbouring Commonwealth of Independent States countries. As Azerbaijan Airlines incurred some debts, they avoided adding flight schedules to destinations that didn't yield profit. The country's border dispute with Armenia over Nagorno - Karabakh further led to a delay of financing for the two new Boeing 757s that the airline had ordered from the US Ex-Im Bank. Eventually, by the fall of 2000, Azerbaijan Airlines received its first Boeing 757s. The perks of adding these Boeing aircraft to its fleet benefitted Azerbaijan Airlines tremendously as it brought forth a range of comfort and efficiency, especially for long-haul flights to international routes. This also helped Azerbaijan put forth an image of the country being ahead of the game.

In 2001, Azerbaijan Airlines introduced a new international route of Paris - Baku which took place in collaboration with Air France. Although predominantly an Islamic country, the repercussions of the 9/11 terrorists' attack on the United States led to a drastic reduction in air traffic. Despite the challenges of less air traffic, Azerbaijan Airlines managed to earn a profit in 2001 and made progress in paying off the debts incurred.

It also offers a rich VIP fleet that comprises Airbus ACJ319, Airbus ACJ320, Airbus A340-600, Boeing 767-300ER and Boeing 777-200LR. These are also part of the fleet.

Along with these, the airline also had ATR 42-500, ATR 72-200, Canadair CL-44, Embraer 170 and Ilyushin IL-76.
