AÉROPORT HEYDAR ALIYEV

Like the city, Baku Airport is a communications node between east and west. From his Soviet legacy, he keeps many connections with Russian cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Khabarovsk, Novosibirsk, Ekaterinbourg, Irkutsk…

Opening up to the East, especially Central Asia, is also evident in destinations accessible from Baku. Tashkent (Uzbekistan), Almaty, Astana and Aktau (Kazakhstan), Achgabad (Turkmenistan), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Karachi (Pakistan), Tehran (Iran) and Istanbul (Turkey). You can even win Chinese Xinjiang by landing in Urumqi. Most of these flights are provided by the national company Azal.

The oil connection imposes flights on Dubai 4 times a week.

Finally, flights to Europe, equally numerous, remind us that Azerbaijan has a foot in the East and a foot in the West: Paris (2 to 4 flights per week), London (10 weekly flights), Frankfurt (3 flights) and Prague (2 flights) are served live from Baku.

From the airport to the city center. The airport is located 25 km from the city. By car, the journey takes forty minutes. Official taxi fares are around 30 AZN depending on the price of gasoline. Mas at night it is not unusual to see prices take off, especially in the direction towards the airport. Borrow the official taxi companies rather than the traps. Cheaper, the shuttle set up in 2017 will take you to Baku for 1.5 AZN. The journey takes forty minutes to reach the place of May 28-May, its terminal (departures every 30 minutes during the day and every hour from 9 p. m. to 6 a. m.). Then you can borrow an urban taxi or the metro to reach your hotel.
