Airport contact
Sole air gateway to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic exclave; no land route to mainland Azerbaijan, overland access only via Turkey or Iran. Current scheduled service is AZAL to Baku and Ganja plus Utair to Moscow-Vnukovo, its only international route. Nakhchivan is a dual civil/military field; a strike near the terminal in early March 2026 caused a brief closure that was resolved within days, and operations have since returned to routine. The 526,155-passenger figure is the last full-year total traceable to a primary count (2014); no confirmed newer airport-wide annual total has been published, and higher unverified route-level estimates circulating in trade press are not used here.
