About Azerbaijan Airlines
Azerbaijan Airlines (ICAO: AHY), also known as AZAL, is the national flag carrier and largest airline of Azerbaijan. The airline is dedicated to connecting Azerbaijan to a wide range of international destinations and upholding modern aviation standards.
Azerbaijan Airlines was established on April 7, 1992, following Azerbaijan's independence, emerging from the regional division of Aeroflot. It serves as a vital link for the country's aviation sector.
The airline's main operational base and headquarters are located at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) in Baku, which also functions as its primary hub. From this strategic location, AZAL operates a route network that spans across Asia, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and Europe. As of November 2025, AZAL serves 2 domestic and 48 international destinations across 27 countries, with plans for further expansion, including new routes to Central Asia and increased frequencies on popular international connections like Baku-Istanbul.
Azerbaijan Airlines operates a diverse fleet, which as of April 2025, includes 25 aircraft. The fleet comprises various models such as the Airbus A319-100, Airbus A320-200, Airbus A320neo, Airbus A340-500, Boeing 757-200, Boeing 767-300ER, Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, and Embraer E-190. The airline is actively modernizing its fleet, with plans to acquire over 20 new aircraft from Airbus and Boeing by 2032, aiming to streamline its fleet primarily to the Airbus A320neo family and Boeing 787 Dreamliner by 2030. AZAL is not a member of major airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld. The airline offers Economy Class, Premium Economy, and Business Class. Notable services in higher classes include priority check-in, priority boarding, increased baggage allowance, and access to the AZAL Lounge at Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
