Tips for 1¼ hr Connections
If connecting between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, budget extra time for the shuttle and repeat security screening.
Azerbaijan Airlines connections within Terminal 1 are generally straightforward as most gates share the same concourse.
Passport control queues can be slow for non-CIS nationals, so factor this into international connections.
Duty-free and lounges are concentrated in Terminal 1, so travelers with tight Buta Airways connections should skip browsing.
Signage is in Azerbaijani, Russian, and English, but airport staff are generally helpful for confused transit passengers.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Within Terminal 1, gates are connected by walking distances of 5-10 minutes with no rail or automated people mover needed. Passengers connecting to or from Buta Airways flights in Terminal 2 must take a shuttle bus that runs every 15-20 minutes and involves re-clearing security and passport control.
