## Description

Balakan sits in north-western Azerbaijan close to the borders with Georgia and the Russian republic of Dagestan; its airfield is a small facility with no IATA or ICAO code on record, no cargo terminal and no customs post. No scheduled or freight operations are documented, so freight relevance is slight. Air cargo for Azerbaijan moves through Baku Heydar Aliyev Airport (GYD), the country's freight gateway, while Zaqatala (ZTU) about 35 km to the east is the nearest larger field; pre- and on-carriage run by road along the trunk route towards Sheki and Baku.
