AZAL Corporate Discount Program: Up to 15% Savings
AZAL Corporate Discount Program: Up to 15% Savings on Business Travel
Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) offers companies a valuable opportunity through its Corporate Discount Program: 5% to 15% discounts on ticket prices based on annual business travel volume. The program covers Economy, Premium Economy, and Business Class flights, with the discount rate determined by the company’s annual flight volume with AZAL. As corporate travel between Türkiye and Azerbaijan continues to grow, this program provides significant savings for companies that regularly fly to Baku.
How Does the AZAL Corporate Discount Program Work?
The program is straightforward: your company is assigned to a package based on its annual flight spending with AZAL (calculated using the base fare only). There are four package levels:
| Package | Annual Volume | Extra Baggage | Refund Fee* | Ticket Changes | Elite Card |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Welcome | USD 20,000–30,000 | +23 kg | EUR 60 | EUR 60 | 1 |
| Silver | USD 30,000–40,000 | +23 kg | EUR 60 | Free | 3 |
| Gold | USD 40,000–50,000 | +23 kg | EUR 60 | Free | 5 |
| Platinum | USD 50,000 and above | +23 kg | Free | Free | 8 |
*Fee charged per flight segment for refunded tickets.
Discount rates vary by booking class (RBD). For the main booking classes (J, C, Z, D, E, G, W, Y, S, N, B, L, T, O, H, U, and V), discounts start at 5% for the Welcome package, increase to 7%–10% for Silver, 10% for Gold, and reach 15% for Platinum. For X and P classes, a 1% discount applies across all packages. Please note that discounts are not available on every flight segment.
