Time to look at some lesser known carriers which provide just as much variety alongside the biggest players in the sky...
Azerbaijan Airlines was founded back in 1992 following Azerbaijan gaining sovereignty and independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In fact, the carrier celebrated 30 years since it became the first national flag-carrier originating from Azerbaijan... Previously, Aeroflot provided the vast majority of services from the Soviet Republic; Azerbaijan Airlines foundations came from Aeroflot's regional unit.

The carrier provides a twice-weekly service (J27/8) between Baku and London Heathrow, the service often arriving in the late evening but was shuffled to an afternoon arrival for the W21 schedule.
Currently, Azerbaijan Airlines operates 2 Boeing 787s, all of which are Boeing 787-8s. Azerbaijan Airlines have 5 Boeing 787-8s on-order.
Bravo Bravo Sierra is one of 2 Boeing 787-8s operated by Azerbaijan Airlines, delivered new to the flag-carrier on 22nd December 2014 and she is powered by 2 General Electric GEnx-1B engines.
