From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of airports in Azerbaijan, grouped by type and sorted by location.
Azerbaijan, formally the Republic of Azerbaijan (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Respublikası), is a country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. It is bounded by the Caspian Sea to the east, Russia to the north, Georgia to the northwest, Armenia to the west, and Iran to the south. The exclave of Nakhichevan is bounded by Armenia to the north and east, Iran to the south and west, while having a short borderline with Turkey to the northwest. The country's capital city is Baku. The majority-Armenian populated Nagorno-Karabakh region in the southwest of Azerbaijan declared itself independent from Azerbaijan in 1991, but it is not diplomatically recognized by any nation and is still considered a de-jure part of Azerbaijan. Air transportation in Azerbaijan is regulated by the Ministry of Transpotation of Azerbaijan Republic.
A $40 million project to lengthen the main runway at Ganja Airport has been completed, allowing the first international direct connections to the city. Similar projects are underway at Lenkoran and Zaqatala and due for completion in 2007.[1][2]
