Kansai Airport.

The new airport was designed according to plans Renzo Piano - Italian architect, who is considered the founder of the high-tech direction in architecture.

The choice of construction site was also due to the fact that earthquakes and typhoons are frequent. The complex is designed in such a way that they cannot touch it. The structure is made in the shape of an airplane wing. Kansai Airport in Japan serves flights within the country and from other countries.

“Cheklapkok”

The Hong Kong air terminal complex has become the best in the world more than once or twice. The dome is decorated wavy lines that look like ocean waves. Like the Japanese Kansai complex, it stands on an artificial island. It is connected to the city by a 12-lane highway. It is also convenient to get there by train running between them.

Hong Kong Airport.

The whole complex consists from three comfortable terminals. Each of them is equipped with everything that passengers may need on the way. From cinemas to fitness rooms, it has everything.

I have visited more than a hundred different airports in the world - from small sheds on the outskirts of the world to huge air cities of the largest metropolises. But nowhere have I received such aesthetic satisfaction as in Baku. I could say that it’s worth coming to Baku even just to look at the airport, but I’m too in love with this beautiful city, so today I’m just inviting you to the museum contemporary art...Which is actually just an airport!

The airport in Baku cannot be directly compared with Dubai or Singapore, the scale and traffic are not the same, there are no swimming pools or butterfly gardens, for example, but an atmosphere has been created here in which waiting for a flight is so cozy and comfortable, and the arrival is accompanied by surprise at what you see! I already wrote on my Facebook that the two most beautiful airports are located in two diametrically opposite points in Europe - Terminal 4 of Barajas Airport in Madrid and Heydar Aliyev Airport in Baku, today we will walk through the second with you.

From the outside, the new terminal in Baku looks like most modern airports: a mix of geometry, futurism and high-tech materials - concrete, glass and metal. Inside, Turkish architectural studio Autoban was inspired by oriental hospitality and created a lively and unusual interior with wooden cocoon elements.

The terminal itself is relatively small. At the same time, it now looks underutilized, so there are reserves of capacity here.
The new complex is capable of serving 6 million passengers per year, its area is 65 thousand square meters.

The airport has 4 floors and a spacious entrance hall:

The first floor serves departing passengers and baggage collection for arriving passengers. The second floor of the complex is provided for arriving passengers. Here is located border control, aviation security control transit passengers, issuance of visas, as well as rest areas for arriving passengers.

There is even a makdacha, but going there in Azerbaijan is blasphemy! This is a country of gastronomic orgasm with amazing (but not always healthy) cuisine.

The construction contractor was MAPA and the equipment supplier was SITA. WAAGNER-BIRO designed and built the building's façade, and Woods Bagot architects and Buro Happold engineers installed structural and seismic systems. AUTOBAN created the interior design, VANDERLANDE created the luggage management system, CAVAG supplied the passenger access platforms and telescopic bridges, and SCHINDLER supplied the elevators and escalators.

On the third floor, intended for the departure of passengers, customs and border control are carried out. Duty free shops and cafes are located on this floor.
One of the few airports where there is no compromise between clean and dirty areas - it is equally comfortable for those greeting and departing on a trip.

The four floors of the building at all levels are entwined from the inside with structures of a kind of “cocoons” made of oak veneer, and the architects hid cafes, bars, and shopping kiosks in the Salam Lounges business area on the top floor in wooden hemispheres.

Just a coffee shop, but how cozy it is here on the second floor!

There is carpet in the arrivals and departure areas and, accordingly, it is quiet and soft. This does not happen very often - in Singapore, Delhi, and partly in Hong Kong.

There is no terrace overlooking the platform in Baku, but there is a cafe with panoramic windows:

The base carrier is the national airline AZAL. Classic airline with 4 stars SkyTrax rating on par with Lufthansa, for example. I have flown with them several times and have always been absolutely delighted! Now the company has introduced differentiation of tariff policy and budget tariffs in some directions, for example Moscow and Istanbul.

I visited the airline and will devote the next few reports to interesting stories about their fleet, the girls, the service on board and, most importantly, the planes! After all, this is the first airline in the post-Soviet space to have two Dreamliners in its fleet!
In total, AZAL has 25 aircraft in its fleet; the average age of the company’s fleet is 9 years.

These are the spectacular ladies who rule air traffic Here!
More about this next time :)

Welcome to Baku!
Haven't been here yet?! Be sure to come! A beautiful city for a weekend at any time of the year. Here are all my reports from Baku.

Modern airports are distinguished not only by functionality and ease of use, but also by beauty, memorability, unusualness and splendor.

Beijing International Airport, Terminal 3, China.

An incredible mesh of glass and metal has been built on the roof of the airport, and the entrance is a two-kilometer gateway to China, which resembles a giant dragon lurking at the edge of the airfield.

One of the terminals at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York

This futuristic (even for our days) facility was commissioned back in 1962. The building's design was intended to reflect the concept of flight - the concrete roof of the exterior simulates the flight of a bird with two massive "wings".
At the end of 2008, after reconstruction, the graceful terminal resumed its work.

Saint Exupery Airport, Lyon, France

The magnificent building resembles a bird in flight with its wings spread. It was renamed Saint-Exupéry Airport in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the famous French writer and pilot. Accepts about 8.5 million passengers annually.

Largest airport in Central Asia— Ashgabat, Turmenistan

A new $2.3 billion airport has opened in the capital of Turkmenistan. The huge falcon-shaped complex is capable of handling about 1,600 people per hour, because about a hundred facilities have been built on its territory, including two runways, a 72-meter control tower, a cargo terminal and a pilot training center.

Marrakech Menara Airport, Marrakech, Morocco

The airport combines modern and traditional Islamic architecture - massive reinforced concrete openings are decorated with Arabic patterns on glass inserts that create intricate shadows inside the terminal. A special feature is the 72 solar panels located on the roof, which generate electricity for the building's needs.

Airport named after Heydar Aliyev. Baku, Azerbaijan

The airport building, which looks like a UFO, has previously attracted a lot of attention, but today it often finds itself on the list of the most unusual airport terminals thanks to the new terminal - its huge building with an area of 65 thousand square meters from a height resembles a bird spreading its wings in flight, or a huge plane taking off over the runway.

Chek Lap Kok Airport, Hong Kong.

The airport has often won international awards, such as best airport peace. The success and popularity of the airport is ensured by the comfortable express train going directly to the city center and the 12-lane highway leading to the airport, as well as the fact that it is easy for passengers to navigate it.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport, Mumbai

The new terminal of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport in Mumbai, India, was built due to the fact that the old one could no longer cope with passenger traffic. Today it can handle 40 million passengers a year. The architects proposed a rather interesting compact option for the distribution of departure waiting areas: they are located in two arcs on both sides of the terminal building.

Not all airports in the world have attractive interiors. Some even make me sad. In the old days, when air terminals were built, architects had one task - to develop a project for a facility with convenient infrastructure and fairly clear navigation. By the way, it is for this reason that when developing airport terminal complexes, much attention was paid to the comfort of the halls and the presence of the necessary signs. However, this is not enough for modern tourists. They want not only to relax comfortably, but also to enjoy aesthetically.

An airport building should intrigue, fascinate and amaze. While passengers are relaxing, they should be in a special mood, the same as that created by Chinese tourists while they are waiting for flights in their air harbor, which is distinguished by its unique architectural style. This is the most beautiful airport in the world, representing a unique symbol of the nation. Now no one pays attention to the costs of its construction and does not consider it a waste of money.

By erecting a unique structure, the state demonstrates Hi-tech. Following Asia, improved terminals began to appear everywhere. The architecture of modern airport terminals combines unique design and beautiful style. Now it cannot be said that the most beautiful airports in the world delight passengers only with their convenient infrastructure.

Beijing Capital International Airport is located in Beijing and is the main transport hub for international transport. It was built 27 kilometers from the central part of the city. One of the largest carriers served by Beijing is airline Air China. For her passenger and cargo planes More than 120 routes have been developed. The next most important air carrier is Hainan Airlines.

Capital Airport receives and departs 1,100 airliners daily. It is called the gate of China. The length of the object is two kilometers. He is associated with a large dragon lurking at the end of the airfield. This unusual impression is created thanks to the flight of imagination of the designers who developed an incredibly complex and unique roof structure.

The combination of metal elements and glass mesh gives the roof its originality. This unique roof, angled, filters out the sun's rays while preventing ultraviolet radiation from entering the terminal. In addition, sunlight, penetrating into the airport complex, bifurcates into two streams of light, red and yellow. This helps tourists navigate the terminal freely.

Newly arrived tourists immediately adapt to the terminal, thanks to its convenient location. It is oriented from north to south. Huge windows can significantly extend the presence of sunlight in the waiting rooms. The most modern and developed infrastructure in terminal No. 3. Here, the transport complex alone is spread over an area of 300,000 m². A two-story underground parking lot can accommodate 7,000 cars.

Madrid-Barajas Airport

The modern terminal No. 4 is located in Madrid and was commissioned in 2006. More than 35 million people pass under its undulating roof every year. The roof is supported by picturesque supports. Single space The structure consists of several floors. It is illuminated mainly by sunlight penetrating inside the terminal through special holes made in the roof.

Visual effects

The main uniqueness of the terminal is the calming environment created by the visual effects. The soft light filling all available space and a large number of glass interior elements relieve passengers of tension, causing a calming feeling.

Despite the huge multi-level terminal, it is difficult to get lost here. This is thanks to the simplified linear design. Moreover, due to large quantity glass, passengers do not feel any pressure from the bulkiness of the room.

John F. Kennedy Airport

The largest international airport in the United States of America. Over 90 airlines use the services of this airport terminal. There are a total of 9 terminals here. Terminal No. 5 was recognized as the most original of them. At one time it was given the name: “winged seagull”, which is associated with an abstract symbol of flight that resembles this structure. Previously, this terminal was considered the most original facility in the world designed for meeting and dispatching aircraft.

The reconstruction of this terminal was carried out by JetBlue. Three years later, passengers saw a completely new structure with 26 exits. Electronic signage appeared here for the first time, as well as cable television and other innovations.

Carrasco Airport

It is located in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. The terminal was put into operation in 2009. The structure is not distinguished by complex architectural innovations, although the giant arc clearly fits into the surrounding landscape. It protects the waiting, departure and arrival halls from direct sunlight. The dome is completely glass. Its width is 400 meters. Thanks to this, natural light is used in the terminal.

The airport complex offers an amazing view of the runways. Many tourists compare the monolithic roof of the airport with the dunes located along coastline countries.

Sondika Airport

It started its work in 2000. Sondik Airport Terminal was built in spanish city Bilbao. Its outline resembles a bird of prey, however, it is popularly called “Dove”. The interior of the terminal is striking with original architectural elements that define the modern Baroque style. Everything is decorated stylishly and beautifully.

Denver International Airport

One of the largest airports in the United States, located 40 kilometers from the center of Denver. The airport became operational in the winter of 1995. The construction of this airport complex cost the American treasury about $5 billion. This facility completely refutes the idea of modern airports.

Visitors are delighted by the convenient location of the waiting rooms and the unusual roof. She looks like snowy Mountain peaks, which are a local landmark. The roof is a unique structure that warms the interior of the terminal in winter thanks to the sun's rays. It was this airport complex that was recognized as the most sustainable structure in the world. The unusual atmosphere in the terminal is created by the whimsical music that greets the arrival of the moving terminal walkway.

Incheon Airport

South Korea's Incheon Airport is located in Seoul. It accepted its first passengers in 2000. Throughout its entire period of operation, the airport is annually included in the list of the best airports in the world. The terminal has a unique infrastructure of amenities, which includes: casinos, massage parlors, golf courses, as well as winter gardens, sleeping areas and much more. This airport is considered the most convenient.

It fascinates tourists with its attractiveness and introduces them to the culture of the country. The upper arch is similar to the roof of a Korean temple. The wide corridors of the waiting rooms are decorated with numerous decorative elements reminiscent of the antiquity of this land.

Menara Airport

The airport is located in Marrakech, the capital of Morocco. Many tourists call this airport a time machine. Since the traditions of their ancestors are honored here, upon arrival at the high-tech airport complex, tourists still find themselves in a place where the spirit of antiquity is visible. Even the airport itself is called by many as another wonder of the world. Oddly enough, in the design of this air terminal complex the architects managed to combine advanced technologies, an accelerated pace of life and ancient traditions. The resulting result is more reminiscent of a luxurious snow-white palace.

Chek Lap Kok Airport

This airport terminal is located in Hong Kong and opened for commercial use in 1998. The airport has repeatedly become the best airport in the world and received international awards. The infrastructure here is so well created that any passenger can easily navigate both terminals. The inner side of the wavy roof has a calming effect on passengers. The city can be reached by a comfortable electric train or by car. The highway consists of 12 lanes, which prevents the formation of traffic jams. As for the electric train, it is impossible not to notice it, since boarding is carried out right at the terminal.

Malvinas Argentinas airport

The construction of the Malvinas Argentinas air terminal was completed in 1995. It is located near the Beagle Channel. It is near the city of Ushuaia in Argentina. Despite the huge distance from the center of civilization, all terminals are elegant structures.

Kansai Airport Terminal

This air terminal was built on an artificial island. A fascinating sight, especially from space and from a bird's eye view. Incredibly, a man-made artificial island has grown right in the middle of the bay. Its length is 4000 meters and its width is 1000 meters. The design documentation says that this complex structure will be able to withstand even powerful typhoons and tsunamis. It will also withstand strong earthquakes. The test of strength did not take long to arrive. As you know, in the winter of 1995, a terrible earthquake occurred in Japan. Over 6,000 people died and there was terrible destruction. Despite this, Kansai Airport survived.

Three years later, a powerful typhoon swept over the artificial island. And the international air terminal passed this test. But at that time the wind speed was incredibly high - 200 km/h. The incredible “survivability” of the airport complex and the artificial island due to its well-thought-out design. After all, its appearance resembles an airplane wing.

To date, there are no analogues of such a structure. Its favorable location reduces the sound of aircraft taking off to some extent. Despite the 24-hour operation of Kansai Air Terminal, local residents it doesn't interfere at all. If passengers want to have fun on simulators that simulate flights, then they have an air park at their disposal.

Russia also has enough decent air terminals. The most beautiful airports in Russia and their locations:

Sochi - Sochi airport.
St. Petersburg - Pulkovo.
Moscow. Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo.
Novosibirsk - Tolmachevo.

For those interested in baggage claim, this is carried out on the ground floor. There is also a police station, as well as first aid stations, toilets and business lounges. We also took care of people with limited mobility. Everything is provided no worse than in foreign airports.

And if not for Singapore, one could call the Baku airport named after Heydar Aliyev the most beautiful in the world.
I haven’t seen many airports yet, but among the countries former USSR this airport is the most beautiful I have ever been to.

Traveling around Azerbaijan, one conclusion can be drawn - the state has made transport problems a priority. In just a few years, modern air terminal complexes appeared in the country, runways were updated and the air fleet was modernized.

The country's special pride is new air harbors. Two years ago, a new terminal at Heydar Aliyev International Airport was built, four new airports in the regions were previously put into operation, and two more were modernized. All segments are developing equally effectively in Azerbaijan aviation transport: passenger and cargo transportation, business aviation and helicopter operations.

2

The airport has two terminals - old and new. Previously, the air harbor was called “Bina International Airport” (after the name of the suburb of Baku), but was renamed in 2004 in honor of the third president of Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev.

3

The new air terminal complex of Heydar Aliyev International Airport was put into operation on April 23, 2014.
From the outside, the airport, like many buildings in Baku, does not have straight lines, and the structure itself is streamlined and smooth.

4

Baku Airport named after Heydar Aliyev is very surprising. Even those who were in different airports world, recognized as the best and most beautiful.

5

The total area of the new airport complex, capable of serving 6 million passengers per year, is 65 thousand square meters.

6

The airport is located 25 kilometers from the city and you will need 20-30 minutes to get to the capital.

7

The inside of the airport is even more beautiful than the outside. On the second floor after passport control you will come across huge wooden “cocoons”, inside of which there are coffee shops and shops, and even the most beautiful armchairs - cages, like for large parrots.

8

For everyone, without exception, the airport evokes the most positive emotions.

9

As in Russian airports, there are frame scanners and x-rays for luggage at the entrance.
The main emphasis was placed on a comfortable stay for passengers. As a result, numerous cozy cafes and restaurants, Duty free shops, mother and child rooms, VIP & CIP halls appeared. The number of passengers served per hour has almost doubled.

11

The halls are equipped with more than 2 thousand comfortable chairs, 150 monitors providing timely information to passengers, 40 check-in counters, 19 boarding gates, 13 of which are telescopic bridges, 30 escalators, 21 wide and transparent elevators, with Braille on the keyboard, provided as for ordinary passengers and passengers with disabilities.

The building is equipped with the latest interactive control systems, such as Building Management and Lighting - allowing you to control air conditioning, ventilation and lighting, automated system sound notification, Gate Operating System - facilitating exit management and Visual Docking Guidance System - guaranteeing safe parking aircraft in parking lots controlled from the terminal control center. And most importantly, the airport is equipped with tomographs of the 4th security level, since its first and most important goal is the safety and regularity of flights.

15

The equipment installed in the control center makes it possible to control aircraft flights over an area of 165 thousand square kilometers. The new runway is equipped with lighting systems, radio navigation equipment and radars that meet the highest ICAO category.

16

In addition to the Heydar Aliyev International Airport, other air harbors of the country have also undergone deep modernization: Ganja, Nakhichevan, Gabala, Lenkorn, Zagatala.

17

The country's national carrier AZAL, Azerbaijan Airlines, accounts for almost 80% of passenger traffic in Azerbaijan. The company has rich history, which dates back to 1923, when the first mail and passenger flights between Baku and Tbilisi began to operate on German Junkers aircraft.
18

Now AZAL is the largest carrier in the CIS with a total fleet approaching 30 modern liners various types. Last year, the airline was the first in the post-Soviet space to operate modern Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, which, together with the Airbus A340-500, are AZAL’s flagships, operating the longest flights in the route network, including New York, Beijing and London.

Let's return to the terminal.
Two cups of coffee and a baklava cake cost 10.8 manats, which in our money is about 400 rubles (don’t believe the bottom photo).
21

Nobody prohibited photography in the departure hall.

22

Photography was prohibited at Duty Free - that's where I usually take pictures of prices.

23

By the way, the prices are quite low. But it is possible that not all products are of adequate quality - the Jemison bottle I bought leaked, the cork turned out to be of poor quality, which is unacceptable for stores Duty Free.

24

The wine department is also enclosed in a “cocoon”, very beautiful.

26

The glass in the terminal is almost always slanted, making it not very convenient to photograph airplanes. But, if you try, you can find a place with straight windows and contemplate from there.

27

Artificial trees.

29

Let's go up to the Sky Team business lounge, it is located on the second floor in the hall international departures.

30

The hall is small, but quite cozy.

31

You can come for drinks yourself, or you can wait for the bartender.
