Aircraft fuel
Unconfirmed
AzalOil (Azerbaijan Airlines Fuel and Lubricants Directorate)
Reported as a structural division of Azerbaijan Airlines CJSC (AZAL) -- the Yanacaq-Surtku Materiallari Idaresi ("AzalOil" Fuel & Lubricants Directorate) -- per AZAL's own corporate-structure page (azal.az/az/corporate-information/structural-divisions); could not re-fetch that page (site blocks automated access) or find independent corroboration via job postings or press. AZAL is headquartered at Bina, Heydar Aliyev International Airport, and Azerbaijan Airlines has historically self-handled into-plane fuelling there, so the entity is plausible but its specific role and existence remain unconfirmed.

De-icing
Seasonal
ASG Ground Handling
Baku's winters bring occasional snow and freezing weather; airport press-service statements (Dec 2025-Feb 2026) confirm aircraft are treated with de-icing fluid and runways/taxiways are cleared during snow events so scheduled flights continue (caliber.az "Baku airport operating in full swing despite snowfall", verified directly; also en.azerbaycan24.com, trend.az). The operator was not explicitly named in press coverage, but this is attributed to ASG Ground Handling as the airport's primary ramp handler rather than a separate company; its listed phone number matches the airport operations contact cited for winter statements.

Baku Cargo Terminal (BCT)
ASG Group's branch description credits an EU-RA3 (Regulated Agent) security certificate to the automated cargo terminal operated at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (asg.az/branches, not independently re-fetched); the underlying cargo-terminal identity matches BCT rather than the airline-ramp ASG Ground Handling branch, so the certificate is attributed here. Not independently confirmed against an EU regulated-agent register.
