In accordance with its flight schedule for the

other, as well as with other regions and countries - this is 20
percent more than it was last season,' Company Director Oleg
Semenov said.
He added that although most of the new flights are
domestic, the company is also increasing its increasing flights to
Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Meanwhile, passenger traffic in Azerbaijan exceeded
1.6 billion people, which was 33.5 percent more than in the
previous year. Most of the passengers (86.7 percent) were
transferred by road, 12.9 percent – by metro, and 0.4 percent – by
other types of transport.
The Heydar Aliyev International Airport (IATA: GYD) is the

terminal area, and the capacity of the cargo complex.
In June 2022, the Heydar Aliyev International Airport was

award is the benchmark of quality for the airport industry.
