During the Aviation Energy Forum held in Baku, Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL), operating under the Azerbaijan Transport and Communications Holding (AZCON Holding), signed an agreement with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to join the CO2 Connect program.

The agreement was signed by Jamil Manizade, Chief Commercial Officer at AZAL, and Funda Calisir, IATA’s Area Manager for Türkiye, Central Asia, and Azerbaijan.

IATA’s CO2 Connect calculator addresses inconsistencies in emissions measurement by offering precise, per-passenger CO2 data based on real operational data, such as aircraft type-specific fuel consumption, which is directly provided by participating airlines and calculated according to an industry-agreed methodology. The platform achieves greater data accuracy, strengthening accountability across the sector. AZAL joins more than 60 airlines currently providing data to CO2 Connect. “Caspian Energy Media” reports with reference to the Azerbaijan Airlines.
