Alternate airports

Less popular with tourists, but playing an important role in the life of the country and having the status of international air gates, there are also in other regions:

  • Gabala Airport is located a few kilometers from the city, which annually is the center of a music festival under the auspices of UNESCO. From the only terminal, the easiest way to get to the city is by public transport or taxi.
  • In 7 km from Ganja - the second largest city in the country - the airport of Azerbaijan is located, which received international status in 2007. Arriving passengers are transferred to Ganja by buses and taxis.
  • Zagatala Airport is located 7 km south of the city and receives flights from Baku, Nakhichevan and Ganja.

By air only

The only way to get to the city of Nakhichevan - the capital of the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic within Azerbaijan - is the airport. The reason for this is the status of an exclave and the difficult relations of the country with Armenia, whose territory surrounds the autonomy for half of its border..
Azerbaijan's international airport in Nakhichevan receives flights from Baku and other cities of the country, as well as from Istanbul and Kiev. UTair flies here from Moscow directly from Vnukovo. The five kilometers separating the passenger terminal from the city center is easiest to travel by taxi or regular bus.
