Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL), a part of AZCON Holding, has signed
an agreement with Accelya, a global leader in airline technology
solutions, to introduce NDC (New Distribution Capability) through
FLX Select.
This agreement marks a deliberate step in the modernization of
AZAL’s retail capabilities and aims to transform the way fares and
ancillary services are created, distributed, and sold through
indirect channels, including travel agencies and online
platforms.
The implementation of FLX Select will enable AZAL to accelerate
time-to-market for fares and ancillary products, ensure consistent
and accurate content across all partner channels, and gradually
move beyond the limitations of traditional distribution models. As
a result, airline offers will become more transparent and relevant
for passengers, while being more convenient and efficient for
travel partners. FLX Select will also provide AZAL with direct
connectivity to the global ecosystem of travel sellers and
aggregators, allowing the airline to unlock the commercial value of
NDC without complex and lengthy technical integrations.
FLX Select is part of Accelya’s FLX ONE platform, powered by
Amazon Web Services. Through its strategic collaboration with AWS,
Accelya delivers scalable, secure cloud solutions that support the
modernization of airline Offers and Orders. According to
independent research firm T2RL, Accelya supports nearly 50 percent
of global NDC transactions.
