Carriers are usually Russian domestic airlines and a few regional operators, with fares often perceived as moderate compared with bigger national hubs. The airport sits roughly 20–25 km southeast of the city center; road transfers by taxi or fixed-route minibus (marshrutka) commonly take about 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically modest. Private transfers and rental cars are available for greater comfort. Pros: generally compact and straightforward to navigate; convenient for regional connections.

The terminal is generally modern and comfortable with a good mix of shops and lounges, so convenience is a strength, while occasional wait times at peak periods and the extra travel distance to central Baku can be downsides for budget-conscious visitors.
