Lachin International Airport — Lachin, Azerbaijan

Lachin International Airport serves the town of Lachin in the Lachin district of Azerbaijan, set at a high elevation of about 5,577 feet in the mountainous terrain of the country's west. A newly built facility, it forms part of Azerbaijan's development of aviation infrastructure in the region, bringing air access to a mountainous area that had long been hard to reach overland. The surrounding country is one of high ridges and valleys in the Lesser Caucasus. As a recent addition to the national network, the airport is designed to connect the district to Baku and beyond. The LHL code identifies this field, serving the Lachin area of highland western Azerbaijan.
