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.

It typically hosts a mix of Russian carriers and a few international airlines, with budget options available on domestic routes. The airport lies roughly 50 km southeast of Irkutsk city center; road transfers to the center can take about 40–60 minutes by taxi or private transfer, while local buses and fixed-route shuttles may take 60–90 minutes — fares are usually modest. Pros: relatively modern terminal facilities and direct connections to the region. Cons: seasonal weather can affect punctuality and limited international frequency compared with larger hubs.
