Azerbaijan Airlines Expands Partnership with Accelya to Strengthen Revenue Control Across Passenger and Cargo

Windsor, UK – March 18, 2026

Accelya, a global leader in airline technology, today announced an agreement with Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) to strengthen financial control across both passenger and cargo operations through Passenger Revenue Accounting, Cargo Revenue Accounting, Sales Audit and Payment Reconciliation.

Building on its recent adoption of Accelya’s FLX Select to accelerate NDC and retail modernization, Azerbaijan Airlines is now strengthening financial control as a decisive step to ensure transformation is delivered with governance, visibility and long-term resilience at scale.

Airline commercial and settlement environments are becoming more complex, increasing financial exposure as revenue flows across multiple channels and businesses. At the same time, growing volumes of settlement data can be difficult to translate into timely, actionable insight. Without strong controls and usable reporting, margin leakage becomes harder to contain. By selecting Accelya, Azerbaijan Airlines is strengthening revenue accounting, audit and payment oversight across passenger and cargo to improve visibility, accelerate discrepancy detection and protect margins at scale. This ensures that retail transformation is underpinned by robust financial governance.

The agreement integrates Passenger and Cargo Revenue Accounting, Sales Audit and Payment Reconciliation into a unified financial control framework, providing earlier visibility into discrepancies, stronger audit compliance, enhanced reporting and clearer executive oversight. This accelerates discrepancy resolution and delivers actionable financial insight across the business.

“As we continue modernize our passenger and cargo operations, strengthening financial control and revenue integrity is a key priority for Azerbaijan Airlines,” said Zaur Dibirov, Chief of Finance at Azerbaijan Airlines.

“Through this partnership with Accelya, we are enhancing visibility across our revenue lifecycle and reinforcing governance across sales, settlement and reconciliation processes. This will support scalable growth while ensuring strong financial discipline across both passenger and cargo operations.”

Azerbaijan Airlines is taking a clear and strategic approach to modernizing both its retail and financial operations,” said Andrew Wilcock, CCO at Accelya. “As airline retailing becomes more dynamic, strong financial control is essential. Accelya helps airlines turn complex settlement data into timely insight, ensuring commercial growth is matched by financial discipline.”

Together with FLX Select, the expanded engagement reflects Azerbaijan Airlines’ structured approach to modernizing both its commercial and financial foundations.

Accelya supports more than 200 airlines globally and processes over $100 billion in airline revenue annually, delivering revenue accounting, audit, and settlement solutions across high-volume passenger and cargo environments worldwide.
