Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD), also known as Baku Airport, serves Baku in Azerbaijan. The airport has Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and the correct building depends on your airline. Check the terminal on your e-ticket before arranging a taxi, bus journey or parking.

Terminals and airlines at Heydar Aliyev Airport

Terminal 1 check-in

Azerbaijan Airlines uses Zone A in Terminal 1. The airport directory places flydubai, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines in Zone B of Terminal 1. Treat these as selected examples and confirm your operating airline's instructions before setting off, especially when a booking includes a partner airline.

Terminal 2 international departures

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are listed in the international section of Terminal 2. Do not assume that every international flight departs from Terminal 1. Tell your driver which terminal appears on your booking and check the departure information again on arrival.

Bus, taxi and car hire at Heydar Aliyev Airport

Aero Express buses

Aero Express buses connect the airport with central Baku, with airport stops at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Check the current route and boarding information before travelling, and choose the city stop that suits your accommodation or onward journey. Allow for road conditions rather than planning a connection around a fixed travel time.

Taxis and rental cars

An official taxi pickup area is outside Terminal 1. Confirm your destination and journey arrangements before departing. Car rental is also available at GYD; check your reservation's collection instructions and follow the airport's rental-car signs. For a return, confirm the required location with your rental company before entering the airport.

Parking at Heydar Aliyev Airport

Parking is available at the airport, with parking areas for both terminals. Choose the area for the terminal on your booking rather than relying only on the airline's destination. Keep your parking details and return arrangements accessible, particularly if someone else is collecting the vehicle. Check the posted conditions before leaving your car.

Food, shopping and lounges at Heydar Aliyev Airport

Cafes, restaurants and shops

GYD has cafes and restaurants for a meal or refreshment before travelling. Look for a suitable outlet in the passenger area you can access and check its availability when you arrive. Duty-free and other shops are also available, including international-departure shopping in Terminal 1. Check what you can carry on your itinerary before buying items for an onward connection.

Departure lounges

Absheron Lounge is in the Terminal 1 departure area, while Mugam Lounge is in the Terminal 2 departure area. Confirm entry conditions with the lounge or your access provider before making plans. Match the lounge to your departure terminal and the passenger area available to you; an access card alone does not settle every entry condition.

Wi-Fi and travel money at Heydar Aliyev Airport

Connecting to the airport network

Free Wi-Fi is available at GYD through the Baku-Airport-Free-WiFi network. It can help you retrieve booking details or contact your onward transport. Save essential journey information to your device before travelling so you can still reach it if you have trouble connecting.

ATMs and currency exchange

ATMs and currency-exchange services are available at the airport. Check the transaction terms with the provider before withdrawing or exchanging money. Arrange how you will pay for your onward journey before leaving the terminal, and keep your bank's contact details accessible when travelling.
