Baku/01.09.23/Turan: An important event was that Jahangir Asgarov was relieved of his long-term position as President of Azerbaijan Airlines CJSC in accordance with the order of President Ilham Aliyev. The departure of Askerov, who headed the state-owned airline since 1996, marks a noticeable change in leadership.
The duties of the head of Azerbaijan Airlines CJSC are temporarily assigned to the First Vice-President of CJSC Samir Musa oglu Rzayev. Rzayev's appointment to this temporary position followed his previous appointment as first Vice president in 2022, a position he took on the instructions of the head of state. Prior Rzayev held the position of Vice President of CJSC.
From 2017 to 2022, he worked as a sales manager in the Bravo supermarket chain. Earlier, in the period from 2009 to 2017, he took the position of head of the Financial Department of the Azerbaijan Mortgage Lending and Loan Guarantee Fund.
Rzayev studied for a master's degree at Durham University in the UK in 2003-2004.
