Ganja International Airport (Azerbaijani: Gəncə Beynəlxalq Hava Limanı) (IATA: GNJ, ICAO: UBBG) is an airport serving Ganja^[1] (also known as Gyandzha^[2]), the second-largest city in Azerbaijan.

It was previously used by the Soviet Air Force.^{[citation needed]} In 1996 the airport received the status of an international airport and since then is used for civil aviation purposes.^[3]

In August 2021 IATA announced a newly assigned code of “GNJ”, which will reflect the city's new name. The former code of “KVD” refers to the old toponym, Kirovabad.^[4]
