Starting from October 1, Azerbaijan’s national air carrier, AZAL, will implement the SIMA digital signature for online purchases of flight 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 will be required to verify their identity using the SIMA Imza. This system is designed to meet high-security standards, ensuring all transactions are protected by modern technological solutions.
The identity verification process is fully integrated into AZAL’s system. When purchasing a ticket via AZAL’s website, passengers will confirm their identity by scanning a QR code with the SIMA Imza. For those using the mobile application, passengers will switch to the SIMA Imza 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 flight ti
ckets for multiple passengers, only one passenger needs to complete the SIMA Imza verification process.
To use the SIMA Imza, passengers should first download the SIMA 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. A video tutorial on how to sign in with SIMA is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWvnIORg1_E
Starting from October 1, passengers planning to travel to Nakhchivan and purchase tickets online are encouraged to download and register in the SIMA app in advance. The innovation applies exclusively to Azerbaijani citizens.
SIMA Imza is a new generation of advanced digital signature based on the cloud and face recognition technologies.
