Azerbaijan Airlines, based in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is a state-owned enterprise with all its shares held by the government. Established in 1992, the airline initially operated using aircraft inherited from Russia's Aeroflot but has since progressively modernized its fleet. Notably, it became the first carrier in the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) to introduce Boeing 787 Dreamliners, a milestone that garnered significant attention. As Azerbaijan’s flag carrier, the airline is poised for steady growth, with plans to expand its fleet with cutting-edge aircraft and develop its international long-haul network.
Azerbaijan Airlines has consistently prioritized safety alongside its operational growth. In 2008, the airline received certification from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Additionally, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) upgraded its safety rating to Category 1, confirming compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. This certification enabled the airline to operate flights to New York. Azerbaijan Airlines has also enhanced its reputation through improved safety measures and service quality, earning higher rankings from independent organizations. The airline is continuously working to elevate its offerings, meeting global standards and exceeding customer expectations.
