Azerbaijan is set to host another major international event.
From May 13 to 15, 2025, with the support of Azerbaijan Airlines
(AZAL), Baku will host the Aviation Energy Forum (AEF) organized by
IATA (International Air Transport Association).
AEF is one of the most prestigious global platforms dedicated to
the topics of energy and sustainability in the aviation industry.
This will be the first time the event is held in the Caucasus
region and will focus on discussing critical issues in aviation and
defining future energy strategies. It will also play a significant
role in strengthening Azerbaijan’s international position in the
aviation and energy sectors and expanding global cooperation. For
AZAL, the forum represents a vital opportunity to underscore the
country’s aviation diplomacy and energy agenda to the international
stage.
The main themes of the forum will include the decarbonization of
the aviation sector, the implementation of sustainable fuel types,
and the role of airlines in the energy transformation process.
During the event, participants will be able to have in-depth
discussions on commercial and technical aspects of jet fuel,
insights into the fuel supply chain challenges, comprehensive
reports on the state of the airline industry and much more.
In addition, AEF will highlight Azerbaijan’s green economy
strategy, its transit and logistics capabilities, and its energy
diplomacy as key focus areas.
It is worth noting that representatives from around 60 countries
and more than 65 airlines, totaling nearly 700 registered
participants, are expected to attend the event.
The forum will bring together representatives of IATA member
airlines, including fuel procurement managers and sustainability
experts, IATA Strategic Partners, suppliers of both traditional and
alternative fuels, fuel service providers, and leaders of the fuel
industry. As the premier industry meeting for the world’s aviation
fuel community, AEF is by invitation only to IATA Members and IATA
Strategic Partners in the fuel area of involvement.
Within the framework of AEF, participants will engage in panel
discussions on aviation and energy, participate in commercial and
technical sessions, and meet exhibitors and sponsors, gaining
opportunities for knowledge exchange and future cooperation.
