Located about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, it can be reached by taxi in roughly 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, or by city buses and airport shuttles with fares that are usually modest. Ground transport is straightforward but can be slower during peak hours; taxis and ride-hailing are the most convenient options while buses are the cheapest. Pros: convenient international connections and relatively modern facilities; cons: transfer times can vary with traffic and peak-season queues may form.
