Azerbaijan Airlines (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Hava Yolları), also known as AZAL, is the flag carrier and largest airline of the country of Azerbaijan. Based in Baku, adjacent to Heydar Aliyev International Airport, the carrier operates to destinations across Asia, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and Europe.
The airline was founded on 7 April 1992 as the first national airline established after the country gained its independence. The state-owned company was privatized in the 2000s, during which ownership of the company's assets ended up in the hands of companies owned by family members of Azerbaijani political elites, including President Ilham Aliyev's daughter Arzu Aliyeva.
Azerbaijan Airlines has received a 4-Star Airline rating from Skytrax for the quality of its airport and onboard product, as well as its staff service. The rating evaluates factors such as seat comfort, amenities, food and beverages, in-flight entertainment, and cleanliness. It also assesses service standards for both cabin crew and ground staff. In addition, AZAL has won multiple awards for the Best Airline in Central Asia and CIS.[3][4][5][6]
