Buta Airways is Azerbaijan’s first low-cost airline, established in 2016 as a subsidiary of Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL). The airline’s mission was to make air travel affordable for everyone while maintaining comfort, reliability, and safety.
Following the low-cost model, Buta Airways offered travelers essential services at budget-friendly fares. By optimizing operations and eliminating unnecessary costs, the company managed to attract both domestic and international passengers who sought efficient and economical travel options.
The airline operated flights from Baku and Ganja airports to several destinations, including Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Iran. Its fleet mainly consisted of Embraer E190 aircraft, known for fuel efficiency, comfort, and reliability.
The brand name “Buta” originates from an ancient Eastern motif symbolizing eternity and happiness. This concept perfectly reflected the airline’s philosophy — providing passengers with a pleasant and seamless travel experience.
Within a short time, Buta Airways became one of the most recognizable low-cost carriers in the region. Affordable fares, a modern fleet, high service standards, and a flexible route network contributed to its strong reputation and success in the aviation industry.
