In a history spanning 80 years, Azerbaijan’s capital airport, Heydar Aliyev International, has gone from strength to strength.

The airport is also the base of national carrier Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) and low-cost airline, Buta Airways. The airport can receive and serve all types of aircraft, including the largest passenger airliner, the Airbus A380.
