About Heydar Aliyev International Airport
Overview
Heydar Aliyev International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Baku, Azerbaijan, located at coordinates 40.467499, 50.046700. Situated at a low elevation of 10 ft mean sea level, the airport provides critical international and regional air connectivity in the Caucasus region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation and coastal location near the Caspian Sea suggests potential for variable wind conditions and maritime meteorological influences. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios, particularly when operating on the two primary runways: the 13,123 ft asphalt runway (16/34) and the 10,499 ft concrete runway (17/35).
Notable Features
Heydar Aliyev International Airport features two substantial runways capable of handling large commercial aircraft, with significant length allowing operations for wide-body jets. The airport's geographic position near Baku provides a strategic aviation hub with potential for complex local terrain and wind interactions due to the nearby Caucasus mountain ranges.
Approach Considerations
Given the airport's dual runway configuration, pilots have operational flexibility for approaches based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths (16/34 at 13,123 ft and 17/35 at 10,499 ft) provide ample landing and takeoff margins for most commercial aircraft types.
