airport services, the reconstruction process was completed within
the shortest possible timeframe while complying with regulatory
requirements and aviation rules. The renovated runway fully
complies with international safety standards and continues to
accommodate all types of aircraft as before.
Despite the project's scale, uninterrupted flight operations at
Baku Airport were maintained during this period.
