July 9, 2026, Baku — Azerbaijan Airlines, part
of AZCON Holding, together with Uzum Bank, has introduced new
online payment options for passengers from Uzbekistan. Tickets can
now be purchased on the airline’s official
website using national payment cards HUMO and Uzcard through
Uzum Bank’s secure payment infrastructure.


The new solution is aimed at increasing the convenience and
accessibility of digital services for passengers traveling between
Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan, as well as to other destinations across
the airline’s route network.


Uzbekistan remains one of the most dynamically developing
markets in Central Asia for Azerbaijan Airlines. The airline
currently operates seven weekly flights between Baku and Tashkent
and, since April last year, two weekly flights between Baku and
Samarkand, contributing to the steady growth of passenger traffic
between the two countries. Over the past six months, the number of
passengers on the Baku–Tashkent–Baku and Baku–Samarkand–Baku routes
has increased by 58% and 174%, respectively, reflecting the growing
interest in business, leisure, and cultural travel between
Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.


“We aim to make the travel experience as convenient as possible
at every stage, from choosing a route to purchasing a ticket.
Expanding payment options for passengers from Uzbekistan is an
important step in developing our digital services and improving the
customer experience. The integration of modern financial
technologies helps ensure a high level of transaction security and
makes the booking process as comfortable as possible for users,”
said Jamil Manizade, CCO of Azerbaijan Airlines.







“We are seeing steady growth in mutual interest between the
people of the two countries: the intensity of air traffic between
Tashkent and Baku already exceeds 7 regular flights per week,
operated by Azerbaijan Airlines, while overall international
passenger traffic in both countries continues to show annual
growth. As a fintech platform, our task is to support this growing
mobility with seamless digital and financial tools,” said Roman
Lavrentyev, CEO of Uzum FinTech.


The national carrier continues to consistently develop its
digital services, offering passengers modern, secure, and
convenient solutions for planning travel and purchasing airline
tickets.
