Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo International Airport (BUQ), serving Bulawayo, functions as the city’s primary international gateway and can be seen as a regional hub rather than a large intercontinental airport. It typically handles a mix of scheduled domestic services and a few regional international flights operated by national and regional carriers; budget options are limited compared with bigger African hubs. The airport sits about 15–20 km south of Bulawayo city centre — a taxi ride is usually 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often in the modest local range; occasional shuttle or private-transfer options can be arranged. Pros: compact terminal, relatively short queues, and quick transfers to the city. Cons: limited lounge and shopping facilities and fewer flight-frequency choices than larger capitals.

Dubai is served primarily by two passenger airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) functions as the city’s major international hub, handling long-haul and transfer traffic for full-service carriers like Emirates and many global airlines; it’s typically seen as mid-to-high priced for connections and services. DXB sits about 4–10 km from the city centre depending on terminal, reachable by metro (25–40 minutes, fares usually modest), taxi (15–30 minutes, fare-variable), or airport shuttle. Its advantages are extensive flight choices and amenities, while downsides can include crowds and busier transfer corridors. Al Maktoum International (DWC), at roughly 35–45 km from central Dubai near Jebel Ali, is positioned as a growing, lower-cost alternative that often serves budget and cargo-focused carriers. Travel to the centre can be longer — expect 40–60+ minutes by taxi or shuttle and evolving public-transport links; fares are typically higher than DXB taxi rides because of distance. DWC can be quieter and simpler to navigate, but may offer fewer international connections and on-ground services compared with the main airport.
