Heydar Aliyev International (GYD) is Baku’s main international gateway and typically serves as the city’s premium hub, handling the majority of long-haul and regional flights. It’s a focus city for Azerbaijan Airlines and commonly hosts full-service international carriers alongside some budget operators on regional routes. The airport lies about 25–30 km southeast of Baku’s city center; travel time by taxi or rideshare can be roughly 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, while public buses and airport shuttles usually take 40–60 minutes with modest fares. Pros: modern terminals and good international connections. Cons: further from central Baku than some travelers expect, so transfer time and taxi costs can be higher than inner-city options.
Shymkent International Airport (SCL) serves as the main gateway to southern Kazakhstan and typically operates as a regional international hub rather than a long-haul gateway. You’ll usually find a mix of Kazakhstan’s national carrier and several low-cost or regional airlines offering domestic and nearby international connections; fares can be comparatively affordable for short hops but may rise for seasonal international routes. The airport sits about 12–15 km north of Shymkent city center; taxis normally take 20–30 minutes (expect local fares to be modest) while shared minibuses and occasional hotel shuttles can be cheaper but slower. Pros: compact layout and relatively quick arrivals/departures. Cons: limited long-haul options and fewer amenities than larger international hubs.
