British Airways is joining the national celebrations of Novruz Bayrami by launching special fares to London, Europe, the US and Canada, with the sale launching on international Novruz Day.
The sale, which will run across all cabins, starts on 21 March and ends on 24 March, allowing for travel up to 31 July, and can be booked online at ba.com or through a travel agent.
Paolo De Renzis, Area Commercial Manager, Middle East and Central Asia, said: “This is our first Novruz in Azerbaijan since we returned last year, so we felt there was no better way to celebrate than by launching special fares to the most popular destinations for Azerbaijani passengers.
“With Novruz Bayrami signaling the first day of Spring, many start looking ahead and planning their summer holidays and trips abroad. With our worldwide route network covering more than 175 destinations, British Airways is a prime choice for Azeri customers.”

Azerbaijan's financial standing continues to strengthen as the country's foreign currency reserves have surged to $71 billion as of January 1, 2025, according to the Ministry of Finance. This figure, which includes reserves held by the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) and the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), far exceeds the nation's external debt, which stands at a fraction of its reserves, specifically nearly 14 times less. This robust reserve position reflects Azerbaijan's fiscal stability and the government’s strategic economic management.
