Chita is served primarily by Ignatyevo Airport (HTA), the region’s main international and domestic gateway located about 60–65 km north of the city. It typically handles a mix of domestic flights and a few international services, with carriers often including Russian regional and national airlines rather than major global network carriers. Road transfer to central Chita usually takes around 50–70 minutes by taxi or shuttle; fares can vary and are commonly perceived as moderate for the region. There may be limited public bus or fixed-route minibus options that take longer but cost less. Pros: straightforward layout and regional connectivity; cons: distance from the city center and fewer service options compared with larger hubs.

Fly direct from Chita to Samara for the quickest, most convenient way to bridge Siberia and the Volga — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time at your destination.

Samara is served primarily by Kurumoch International Airport (KUF), the region’s main international hub handling most scheduled flights and some budget carriers, plus smaller domestic airfields for general aviation.

The airport typically hosts carriers offering both domestic connections and occasional international routes, so fares can be competitive compared with Moscow gateways. Pros include fairly modern facilities and direct connections; cons are the longer transfer time to central Samara and variable public-transport frequency late at night.
