Baku is served primarily by Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD), the country's main international gateway and a modern hub for national carrier Azerbaijan Airlines alongside several Middle Eastern and European carriers. Located about 20–25 km southeast of the city center, travel time can be roughly 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares typically higher than local buses; a shared airport shuttle or private transfer is also common. Public buses connect the airport to central Baku more cheaply in roughly 40–60 minutes. Pros: contemporary facilities, frequent international connections and straightforward transfers; cons: the airport sits outside the core city so surface travel may take longer and costs can be noticeably higher than inner-city options.
Urumqi is served primarily by Urumqi Diwopu International Airport (URC), the region’s main international and domestic gateway connecting Xinjiang with major Chinese hubs and Central Asian cities. It typically handles full-service carriers as well as some low-cost and regional operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on route and season. The airport sits about 16–18 km northeast of Urumqi city centre; taxi rides usually take 30–45 minutes and can be inexpensive by local standards, while airport express buses and shared shuttles take roughly 40–60 minutes with modest fares. Pros: reasonably modern facilities and extensive connections for the region; cons: distance from downtown and variable transfer times during peak traffic.
