Terminals
There are two passenger terminals and two cargo terminals at Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
The old passenger terminal built in Soviet times was completely dismantled and a new international Terminal 1 was erected in its place. The four-story engineering concept was developed in 2010 by Arup, in the shape of a triangle with a translucent roof inside. The interior, designed by the Turkish company AUTOBAN, has a number of cocoons made of oak veneer.
In Terminal 1, there is a baggage handling equipment from Van Der Lande, as well as a baggage screening equipment, L-3 scanners, designed to obtain a layer-by-layer image of the internal structure of the object.
The telescopic traps of Terminal 1 are capable of simultaneously receiving 12 aircraft. Two ladders are provided for the reception of the world's largest passenger aircraft - Airbus A380 .
There are 30 escalators and 21 Schindler elevators installed throughout Terminal 1. Terminal 1 is equipped with the BMS system (Building Management System), which is designed to automate processes and operations that are implemented in modern buildings and is the technical basis of the so-called intelligent buildings. Also Terminal 1 is equipped with a separate system for the provision of resources such as electricity, lighting, ventilation, heating, air conditioning, water supply and sewerage.
