Heydar Aliyev International Airport (Azerbaijani: Heydar Aliyev adına Beynəlxalq Hava Limanı) (IATA: GYD, ICAO: UBBB) is one of the seven international airports serving Azerbaijan. Formerly, it was called Bina International Airport after a suburb of the Azerbaijan capital Baku. On 10 March 2004, the airport was renamed after the former president of Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev. The airport is 20 kilometers northeast of Baku, connected to the city by a highway. It serves as the hub for national carrier Azerbaijan Airlines as well as for Azal Avia Cargo, Buta Airways and Silk Way West Airlines.

Facilities

Terminals

The airport consists of two passenger terminals, Terminal 1 being the newer one, and two cargo terminals.

Terminal 1

Terminal 1 was commissioned in April 2014. Its total area is 65,000 square meters (700,000 sq ft). The terminal is designed for 6 million passengers per year. It currently serves up to 3 million passengers annually. The total parking area is 20,000 square meters (220,000 sq ft) for 600 vehicles.[citation needed] The airport has a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafés, and duty-free stores in both the departures and arrivals areas. Terminal 1 contains five lounges and a spa.[4] Terminal 1 operates jet bridges capable of receiving 12 aircraft simultaneously. Two jet bridges are intended for accommodating the world's largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380.

Terminal 1’s four-level engineering concept was developed in 2010 by Arup Group with a tricorn shape and semi-transparent roof. The interior, designed by Turkish company AUTOBAN, has a series of oak-veneer “cocoons”.[citation needed] There is Vanderlande baggage handling system in Terminal 1, as well as L-3 equipment for thorough baggage inspection and scanners designed to obtain a layered image of the internal structure of the object.[citation needed] 30 Schindler escalators and 21 elevators are installed in Terminal 1.[citation needed] Terminal 1 is equipped with a Building Management System (BMS) which is designed to automate processes and operations that are implemented in modern buildings and is the technical basis of the so-called intelligent buildings.[citation needed] Also, Terminal 1 is equipped with a separate system of resource support, such as electricity, lighting, ventilation, heating, air conditioning, water supply, and sewerage.[citation needed]
