Baku: Heydar Aliyev International Airport will operate under an enhanced regime from 20 to 30 March 2026 to manage the anticipated increase in passenger traffic during the Novruz holiday.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, all airport services will function continuously to accommodate the expected rise in travel demand. Operational units will be reinforced to ensure the safe and efficient handling of flights, and additional coordination measures will be implemented to support the smooth management of passenger flows across the terminals.

Passengers planning to travel during this period are advised to arrive at the airport at least 2-3 hours before their departure to complete check-in and security procedures efficiently.
