In connection with the upcoming 2024 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, traffic restrictions are expected on certain streets and avenues, as well as an increase in the number of visitors arriving in the country. Heydar Aliyev International Airport recommends passengers plan their trips with these circumstances in mind and allocate extra time for a comfortable arrival at the airport.
To make your journey easier, passengers are advised to follow the recommendations below:
- Arrive at the airport early: To comfortably pass all security and check-in procedures, arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before your flight.
- Check-in online: To minimize waiting time, complete your check-in online before your flight. Some airlines offer online check-in up to 48 hours before departure, so take advantage of this to save time.
- Confirm your departure terminal in advance: Check which terminal your flight departs from in your e-ticket or on the airline’s official website in advance to avoid any confusion.
- Use the Aeroexpress service: For a convenient and quick trip to and from the airport, without traffic, use the Aeroexpress public transport departing from the "28 May" metro station.
- Follow parking rules: Park your vehicle only in the designated parking areas at the airport. Otherwise, you may block access and obstruct the movement of other vehicles, creating unnecessary congestion. Use the special drop-off zones for picking up or dropping off passengers, with a maximum 5-minute limit.
- Pay for parking online: To save time, you can easily pay for parking via the AzParking, ABB, Birbank mobile apps, or the Tezödə platform. Please note that the first 15 minutes of parking are free of charge.
- For passengers with special needs: If you require special assistance, be sure to inform your airline at least 48 hours before your flight to ensure the necessary support at the airport and on board.
It should be noted that all services of Heydar Aliyev International Airport will operate in an enhanced mode during this period to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers. Plan your trip in advance to ensure a smooth and comfortable journey!
