Azerbaijan Airlines flies to New York now and has some very good one way and round-trip deals from JFK to Tel Aviv and vice versa. Roundtrip in "X" class starting at $696.62 with nice connection times in Baku. Aircraft are Airbus A320 and Airbus A340 types with expected Dreamliner service to commence upon delivery.

How would this airline compare to the Russian airlines for example? In safety, reliability, service etc..
Thanks!It seems they're not part of an alliance- can you credit the miles to anyone besides their own program?
Is it available for mar - April dates?
I spoke to a friend who is from Bako, he said it's a better airline then the Russian airlines because it's government and family owned.
Azerbaijan Airlines is the pride and joy of the government and people of the country. You can notice the very catchy liveries that it aircraft carries. They fly modern Airbus and Boeing Jets on their long haul service.Baku is a favorite destination for tourists and Azerbaijan has a close strategic and economical relationship with the state of Israel. Baku also has a large Jewish population. I would recommend stopping over in Baku to experience the city.
Visa is needed
So.... No visa is required for a layover for a few hours? Obviously no leaving the airport.
Any updates on flying this airline? Safety? Anti Semitism?
