Barnaul’s airport, Barnaul Gherman Titov (BAX), functions as the regional air gateway for Altai Krai and is typically a mid-sized domestic hub rather than an international transfer center. You’ll usually find Russian carriers like Aeroflot, S7 and Pobeda operating scheduled flights, with occasional seasonal routes to nearby countries. Fares can be relatively affordable compared with larger Russian hubs, though prices vary by season. The airport sits about 16–20 km northeast of downtown Barnaul; taxis generally take 25–35 minutes and can cost in the lower to mid-range for local rates, while fixed-route minibuses or buses take around 40–50 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: compact terminals and short queues at off-peak times; cons: limited international connections and fewer on-site services than bigger airports.
Shymkent International Airport (CIT) serves as the main gateway to Shymkent and southern Kazakhstan, operating as a regional international hub rather than a large global transfer point.

The airport lies about 15–17 km northeast of the city center; taxi rides usually take 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, while shared shuttles or local buses can take 30–50 minutes at lower cost.
