Barnaul’s primary airport, Barnaul Gherman Titov (BAX), serves as the region’s main international and domestic gateway rather than a large international hub. It typically handles flights from Russian carriers and a few low-cost or regional operators, so fares can often be moderate compared with major national hubs. The airport lies about 14–20 km southwest of the city center; taxi rides usually take around 25–40 minutes and can cost roughly ₽400–900, while shared minibuses or local buses may take 40–60 minutes for a lower fare. Facilities are compact with basic shops and cafes — convenient for short connections but less extensive for long layovers. Overall it’s practical for regional travel, though options and frequencies can be limited outside peak periods.

Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the main air gateway for eastern Siberia and typically functions as a regional and international hub rather than a large global transfer point. It usually handles a mix of Russian carriers and a few international or charter operators, with fares that can be higher than western European standards but often competitive for domestic routes. The airport sits about 52 km (roughly 1–1.5 hours) from Irkutsk city center; common transfers include taxis (around 1,500–2,500 RUB), airport shuttles or private transfers and occasional bus services (cheaper but slower). Pros: straightforward check-in and direct connections to Baikal-area destinations; cons: limited late-night services and fewer lounge or premium shopping options compared with major hubs.
