Zaqatala International Airport is a modest regional field serving Zaqatala city in northern Azerbaijan, tucked beneath the southern slopes of the Main Caucasus range. Rebuilt and granted international status in 2008, it now sees no scheduled passenger services, making it a quiet destination of interest chiefly to general aviation and touring pilots.
Zaqatala International Airport (ICAO: UBBY, IATA: ZTU) is a government-operated airport serving the city of Zaqatala in northwestern Azerbaijan. It underwent a major reconstruction of both terminal and runway completed in 2008, after which it was granted international airport status, though it currently has no scheduled passenger operations. For a simulator pilot, its setting at the foot of the Main Caucasus range and its long single runway with an ILS approach make it a worthwhile stop for regional touring flights.
The airfield lies in Zaqatala Rayon in northwestern Azerbaijan, at the southern foot of the Main Caucasus mountain range, close to the city of Zaqatala itself.
The airport has a single physical runway, 15/33, surfaced in hard material (asphalt or similar), measuring approximately 6,863 feet in length. Runway 33 is equipped with an ILS approach.
No communications frequencies are published for the airport. Runway 33 has an ILS approach available for instrument arrivals.
The airport's terminal and runway were extensively reconstructed, with the work completed in 2008. Following this reconstruction, Zaqatala Airport was granted international status. It sits at the southern foot of the Main Caucasus range, a geographically distinctive location within Azerbaijan's network of airfields.
Zaqatala International Airport currently has no scheduled passenger flights operating from it. It remains listed as an international airport within Azerbaijan's aviation network, alongside other minor international fields such as Ganja, Lankaran, Nakhchivan and Gabala.
