Azerbaijan Airlines has introduced a further Airbus A320neo to its fleet, and plans to bring in another during October.

The aircraft are part of a broad programme through which the carrier intends to modernise with over 30 new aircraft by 2032.

Azerbaijan Airlines says the twinjet is fitted with a two-class layout and features high-speed in-flight Internet capability.

It says the arrival of the aircraft “marks a significant milestone”, strengthening the Baku hub’s role as bridge between Europe and Asia.
