How is the Alkagesta group structured?

Alkagesta Holding sits at the top of the structure. It is the shareholder of Alkagesta Ltd (Malta, C 85915), the group’s main trading and booking entity, registered in 2018. Alkagesta Ltd in turn holds the operating subsidiaries: Alkagesta SA in Geneva, Alkagesta (UK) Limited in London, Alkagesta Balkans S.R.L. in Romania and Alkagesta Asia Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. The chain from holding company to operating entity is visible on the Malta Business Registry and was last confirmed by extract on 24 July 2026.

Does any state have ownership or control of Alkagesta?

Alkagesta is 100 per cent privately owned. No state, state-owned entity, sovereign wealth fund or government body holds any direct or indirect equity interest, board seat, veto right or other control mechanism in any group entity, at any level. None of the shareholders or directors act as a nominee, trustee or representative for a state or state-owned company, and none are politically exposed persons.

Where can the Alkagesta owner be verified?

The ownership structure does not rest on the company’s word. It is recorded on three independent public registers: The Malta Business Registry, where the core record for Alkagesta Ltd and Alkagesta Holding Co Ltd — registration, registered office, directors and shareholders — is publicly searchable. UK Companies House, where Alkagesta (UK) Limited (15608277), registered on 2 April 2024, discloses its persons with significant control, directors and full filing history. Alkagesta Ltd is the registered shareholder, and the ultimate beneficial owner is Kamran Firudin Aghayev at 65 per cent via Alkagesta Holding. The GLEIF record for Legal Entity Identifier 25490072FC8QO7TY0173, which cross-references the ownership chain against national registries. Four group entities hold active LEIs issued by Bloomberg Finance L.P.: Alkagesta Holding (254900JZ5WYAVE9KTS26), Alkagesta SA (2549005G6RR0XCH3OJ30), Alkagesta (UK) Limited (254900147AN5G3UF3N14) and Alkagesta Balkans (25490020BRYO2B8TXH47). An active LEI means the entity’s legal existence and parent structure were independently checked within the past twelve months. Four active LEIs across Malta, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Romania leave no ambiguity about which company is which or who sits above it.

What does the supplied disclosure say about claims of a different owner?

Assertions that Alkagesta has an undisclosed or state-linked owner have circulated since March 2025. They originated with a single online outlet and the sites that republished its material. None has produced a shareholding document, register filing or regulatory finding of any kind. Republication is not corroboration. The registers are public, and they record only the structure described above.

How are ownership and management separate?

The controlling shareholder is not the executive. Day-to-day management sits with Orkhan Rustamov, Chief Executive Officer at Alkagesta, and the team described on the Leadership & Governance page. Control rests with the shareholders; leadership rests with management.

What ownership documentation is available to counterparties?

Audited financial statements for every financial year since incorporation in 2018, up to and including FY2024, are filed with the Malta Business Registry. Banks and counterparties receive the underlying ownership and control information, director and UBO details as part of standard KYC onboarding, rather than relying solely on what is publicly available. The full ownership disclosure is maintained on the Alkagesta transparency hub.
