 Passenger Opinions about Azerbaijan Airlines
I flew with the airline to and from Baku in early December 2004 and was pleasantly suprised.
I have used Azerbaijan Airlines a number of times between Istanbul to London Gatwick; the fares are consistently cheaper than for other airlines (even in busy times it is possible to get a return flight from Istanbul to London for less than $300) and the flights are always on time.
The airline uses a Boeing 757 on these flights, with an in-flight film (more than on Turkish Airlines or BA on the same route).
