October 1, 2024, Baku – Starting today, Azerbaijan's national air carrier, AZAL, implements the SİMA digital signature for online purchases of air tickets to Nakhchivan. This innovation is aimed at digitizing the ticketing process for this destination, enhancing transparency, and improving security.

Passengers buying tickets through AZAL's official website or mobile application are required to verify their identity using the SİMA İmza. This system is designed to meet high-security standards, ensuring all transactions are protected by modern technological solutions.

To use the SİMA İmza, passengers should first download the SİMA app and complete a simple registration process, which takes just a few minutes. Once registered, passengers can easily purchase tickets for flights en route Baku-Nakhchivan-Baku.

The identity verification process is fully integrated into AZAL’s system. When purchasing a ticket via AZAL’s website, passengers confirm their identity by scanning a QR code with the SİMA İmza. For those using the mobile application, passengers switch to the SİMA İmza app to complete the process. These measures are expected to encourage more online ticket purchases for Nakhchivan flights.

It is worth noting that when purchasing tickets for multiple passengers, only one passenger needs to complete the SİMA İmza verification process.
