It is the base for Azerbaijan Airlines and commonly hosts other legacy and Middle Eastern carriers, while low-cost options can be available on some routes. The airport lies about 25–30 km southwest of Baku’s city center; road transfer usually takes 25–40 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle depending on traffic, with fares commonly in a modest local range, and there are also bus services that can be slower but cheaper. Pros: modern facilities, international connections and lounges; cons: somewhat distant from downtown and transfer times can stretch in peak hours.
