  "connection_tips": "Zaqatala International Airport (ZTU) is a regional aviation facility located in the northwestern Zaqatala District of Azerbaijan. Ground transportation must be pre-arranged, as on-demand taxi services at the terminal can be limited outside of scheduled flight windows. The terminal is a compact, modern structure where all passenger functions\u2014including check-in, security, and arrivals\u2014are integrated into a single area. Because the airport does not host high-frequency scheduled commercial airline services, the traditional concept of a connecting hub with automated baggage transfers and sterile transit zones does not apply here. Amenities on-site are minimalist, so travelers should carry their own essentials.\n\nConnections at Zaqatala typically involve transitioning from a small regional aircraft to local ground transport for the onward journey into the town of Zaqatala or the nearby Caucasian mountains. Always verify your flight status with your operator before heading to the airfield. Travelers should carry valid identification and be prepared for standard safety checks. This layout makes physical transit extremely simple, as there are no separate concourses or complex navigation paths.\n\nSecurity procedures follow the national standards of the Republic of Azerbaijan and are generally very efficient due to the low volume of passenger traffic. While designated as an international airport, it primarily supports domestic charters, government operations, and occasional seasonal flights to the capital, Baku. Most visitors arrange for private cars or hotel shuttles for the 10-kilometer drive to the city center. If you are arriving from an international location via Baku, ensure you have cleared customs and immigration at Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) before your domestic flight to Zaqatala.",

  "terminal_info": "Zaqatala International Airport (ZTU) is a regional aviation hub located in the northwestern Zaqatala District of Azerbaijan, near the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus. The airport is best understood as a small but strategically placed gateway for district travel and mountain access.\n\nServing as a gateway to the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus, the airport features a single modern terminal building and infrastructure capable of handling international narrow-body aircraft.\n\nWhile primarily used for domestic flights to Baku and specialized charters, its strategic position supports both regional tourism and administrative connectivity for the northwest of the country. The airport is therefore best read as a small regional gateway with real value for mountain access and district travel.",
