OPERATING HISTORY 

Azerbaijan Airlines tracks its history 75 years back to June 2, 1938 when the first 

aviation group was created in Azerbaijan. In 2006, by an order of the President of the Repubiic 

of Azerbaijan, this date was declared the Day of Civil of Aviation of Azerbaijan. In 1990, 

Azerbaijan announced that it was setting up its own airline, and that it would be independent of 

Aeroflot, then the long-time provider of air services for the Soviet republics. Following that 

decision, scheduled Baku-Istanbul route was launched in January 1991 in partnership with 

Turkish Airlines as the first international route operated by the newly independent airline. In 

November 1994, AZAL began a route to Dubai and shortly thereafter followed with flights to 

Tehran, Tel Aviv, St. Petersburg, London and points in China. In the fall of2000 AZAL received 

its first of the two Boeing 757 aircraft financed through the Export-Import Bank of the United 

States. The $66 million loan guarantee was the Ex-ImBank's first transaction for Azerbaijan. In 

January of 2001 these aircraft started operating the newly opened Baku-Paris route. On June 2, 

2011, Azerbaijan Airlines took delivery of the first of two Boeing 767-300ER aircraft which it is 

actively using to serve the South-East Asia routes. These aircraft were then followed by two
