Bukhara Airport (IKU) serves as the main regional gateway to the historic city of Bukhara and typically handles a mix of domestic flights and a limited number of international or seasonal services. The airport is commonly used by local carriers and regional airlines rather than major global hubs, so fares can often be competitive compared with larger Uzbek gateways. Located roughly 4–6 km southeast of the old town, transfer times to the city center are short — about 10–20 minutes by taxi or private transfer, with fares usually modest given local rates. Public transport options are limited; taxis and hotel shuttles are the most practical choices. Pros: convenient proximity to the historic core and straightforward arrival procedures. Cons: smaller terminal facilities and fewer flight frequencies, which can mean fewer scheduling options and fewer on-site amenities compared with larger international airports.
Samarkand International Airport (TAS) serves as the primary gateway to one of Uzbekistan’s most historic cities and typically handles both international and domestic flights. You’ll usually find Uzbekistan Airways alongside some regional carriers operating here, with occasional seasonal charter services; fares can be moderate compared with larger regional hubs. The airport sits roughly 5–7 km southeast of Samarkand’s center, and travel times are commonly 10–20 minutes by taxi or 20–40 minutes by shared minibus, with taxi fares generally low and minibuses very economical.
