In 2025, Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku (GYD) served 7.640 million passengers, showing a modest increase of just 1.3% compared to the previous year. This marks a significant slowdown following two years of double-digit growth, which saw traffic rise by 31% in 2024 and 20% in 2023. The cause was the strained relations with neighbor Russia.

The number of airlines operating at the airport remained largely stable at 40, compared to 41 in 2024. Notably, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, which previously operated flights to the Azerbaijani capital, ceased its operations in 2025. Despite this, foreign carriers continued to account for just over 51% of the international passenger traffic, which totaled 6.895 million people (+1.3%).

A bright spot was the significant 30% growth in transit passengers, whose numbers reached 974,000, according to airport’s report.

The number of destinations served from Baku decreased from 80 to 75. The busiest ones were Istanbul, Tbilisi, Dubai, Ankara, and Moscow.
