Chita is served mainly by Kadala Airport (HTA), a regional airport that typically handles domestic and limited international flights, positioning it as a practical gateway rather than a major hub. You’ll most often find Russian carriers and regional airlines operating here, with fares that can be relatively affordable compared with large federal hubs but occasionally higher on less frequent routes. Kadala sits roughly 15–20 km northwest of central Chita; taxi rides usually take about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and can cost a modest local fare, while local buses or marshrutkas take 30–45 minutes for a lower price. Pros: straightforward layout and short transfer times; cons: fewer amenities and less frequent long-haul connectivity compared with larger airports.
