Heydar Aliyev International (GYD) is Baku’s main international gateway and typically functions as the city’s premium hub for both full-service carriers and growing regional airlines. Long-haul and flag-carrier flights are common, while low-cost operators may serve select routes, so fares can be mid-to-high relative to regional alternatives. The airport sits about 25–35 minutes by car from the city center (roughly 20–25 km), with taxi rides usually taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; public buses and airport shuttles offer cheaper options that typically take 40–60 minutes and cost modest fares. Pros: modern facilities, good connectivity and frequent international services. Cons: slightly longer transfer times to central Baku and occasional peak-hour congestion.

Fly nonstop from Baku to Erbil for the quickest, most convenient way to reach northern Iraq—no layovers, less hassle, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the convenience.

Erbil International Airport (EBL) serves as the main international gateway for the Kurdistan Region and typically operates as a mix of regional hub and growing international airport rather than a major global hub. You’ll mostly find Middle Eastern and regional carriers alongside a handful of European and charter operators; fares can be competitive on regional routes but often higher for long-haul connections. The airport lies about 12–15 km southeast of Erbil city centre, with transfers usually taking 20–35 minutes by taxi or private transfer; expect fares in the low tens of USD/IDR equivalent, while organized shuttle or hotel pickups can be similar. Facilities are functional with basic lounges and eateries; pros include relative convenience and short transfer times from the city, while cons can be limited late‑night services and fewer premium amenities compared with larger international hubs.
