Bukhara’s Kagan (Bukhara International) Airport serves as the city’s main gateway, handling a mix of regional international and domestic flights and typically catering to full-service carriers and a few budget operators. The airport sits about 4–10 km northwest of the historic centre, so transfer times are short — taxis usually take 10–20 minutes and can be the quickest option, while shared minibuses or hotel shuttles may be slightly cheaper but slower; expect modest fares relative to larger cities. Facilities are compact and functional rather than luxurious, making check-in and transit usually straightforward, though services and dining options can be limited compared with major hubs. Overall it’s convenient for short transfers and sightseeing starts, but travelers seeking extensive amenities or many flight choices may need to connect via larger Uzbek hubs.
