Transport from Baku Airport: My Tips
The airport is served by a special "AeroExpress" bus line that runs directly to the centre of Baku to the May 28th station.
At night you can only use taxis.
Bus
Modern air-conditioned buses run on the AeroExpress line, stopping at Koroglu metro station and going into the city centre to the main metro transfer station 28 May and the railway station.
- Frequency - 20 minutes during the day / 45 minutes at night (between 11pm and 6am)
- Travel time - 35 minutes to the centre or 15 minutes to Koroglu station
- Operating hours - 24/7
- Timetable on the airport website: airport.az/aero-express
- Parkside Hotel & Apartments.
Ticket price and how to pay
The AeroExpress line has a special more expensive fare compared to regular public transport buses in Baku.
- 1,30 azn
You can pay the fare with your own contactless card inside the bus, as well as on other public transport throughout Baku.
Current ticket prices in Baku city centre (city buses + metro) and detailed information: bakikart.az/ticket-and-tariffs.
Taxi / Bolt
There is always a large number of taxi drivers standing outside the terminal and sometimes already inside the terminal, enticing you to take a ride. The price is negotiable and unfortunately it is very common for the prices to be several times higher for tourists than for locals.
We highly recommend using the Bolt mobile app, which is very popular in Baku. The normal price from the airport to downtown Baku via Bolt is between 22 azn and 30 azn depending on current demand.
The price for a regular taxi does not usually go below 30 azn.
Car rental
There are many international large car rental companies operating in the Baku airport terminal and even with the high competition, prices are relatively low.
For a week's car rental you can pay from 150 eur.
Hire a car if you go exploring the Azerbaijani countryside. For city travel only, a car is not worth it: the metro or Bolt app work well in Baku.

March 2025: Airport express runs all night every 45 minutes, I'm attaching a JR from the airport, I couldn't find one downtown at the "28 may" stop. However, at least the night times are the same as those from the airport (verified).
Hi,
Minor update: as of the end of April 2026, all public transport (including Funicular and the airport bus) can be paid by card. A single ride on the metro or city bus costs AZN 0.60. The card is more expensive, charging me AZN 0.82 per ride.
Hi, thanks for the update :)
