The 13,123-foot runway provides approximately 13,119 feet of effective sea-level performance.

Heydar Aliyev International Airport's temperate latitude produces generally favorable flying conditions with seasonal variation. Winter brings frontal passages that can drop ceilings to IFR minimums for 24-48 hour periods. Freezing precipitation is possible but less persistent than at higher latitudes. Summer convective activity peaks in late afternoon — morning departures typically encounter smoother, clearer conditions. Year-round instrument currency is recommended for reliable scheduling.

Two runways at Heydar Aliyev International Airport provide crosswind flexibility.
