Azerbaijan Airlines to receive new aircraft

Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) will receive another Boeing 767-300ER passenger aircraft under a contract with Boeing Aircraft Corporation in spring 2012, CJSC said on Saturday.

In June 2010, AZAL has already received the first Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.

"The second Boeing 767-300ER aircraft is scheduled to be received in spring 2012," the source said.

Also, he said, AZAL will receive two Boeing 767 cargo aircrafts in 2012. AZAL will receive the most modern aircraft - Boeing-787 Dreamliner that will be the first in the CIS in 2014.

After 2014, the airline will receive another similar aircraft. This will allow AZAL to start implementing flights over longer distances, in particular to the U.S.
