Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) is Dar es Salaam’s main international gateway and typically serves full-service carriers as well as major regional airlines, with occasional long-haul services. Positioned roughly 12–15 km north of the city center, it’s usually seen as the primary hub for international and higher-end domestic travel. Public buses and shared minibuses can take about 40–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and app-based rides are commonly 20–40 minutes and can be pricier. Airport shuttles and private transfers are also available. Pros: more flight choice and passenger facilities; Cons: can be busy and subject to traffic delays on the road to town. Moi International Airport (also sometimes referenced for Dar es Salaam region) is smaller and typically handles some domestic and regional services, often favored by budget and regional carriers. Located farther from central Dar than the main international airport, travel times can be longer and public transport options more limited; expect local buses and taxis with journeys that vary widely by route and traffic. Fares are typically lower for ground transport but services can be less frequent. Pros: often quicker for domestic hops and lower-cost carriers; Cons: fewer amenities and less frequent onward transport compared with the main international airport.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s primary international gateway and a large hub for full-service carriers, so it typically handles most long-haul and premium flights. Located approximately 35–45 km northwest of the historic city center, it can take around 40–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with rides often costing in a mid-range band; public options include high-frequency shuttle buses and the Havaist coach service (roughly 45–75 minutes, variable fares) and a metro line that shortens some journeys. Pros: extensive facilities, many airline choices, modern terminals; cons: distance from central neighborhoods and potential traffic delays during peak hours. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) serves as Istanbul’s secondary international and low-cost-focused airport, commonly used by budget and regional carriers. Situated on the Asian side about 35–50 km southeast of Taksim and the historic peninsula, travel times can be 45–90 minutes by taxi or car depending on peak congestion; public transport options include HAVABUS shuttles and Marmaray plus bus connections that usually take longer but can be more economical. Pros: often cheaper fares and quicker check-in for low-cost carriers; cons: longer transfers for European-side destinations and fewer premium lounge options compared with the main airport.
