Dubai is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the region’s major international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers such as Emirates and other global airlines; it’s often perceived as pricier on taxes and fees but competitive on connectivity. Al Maktoum International (DWC) is positioned more as a growing low-cost and cargo-focused option, attracting budget carriers and charter flights. DXB sits about 12–15 km from the city center — the metro takes roughly 15–25 minutes and fares can range from modest metro prices to higher taxi fares — while DWC is farther out (around 40–50 km), typically 40–60 minutes by car with ride fares noticeably higher. Pros: DXB is convenient and well-served by public transport; DWC can be quieter and cheaper for some airlines. Cons: peak-time crowds and longer transfer times between terminals at DXB; longer onward travel from DWC.
Antananarivo’s main gateway is Ivato International Airport (TNR), a mid‑sized international hub that handles most long‑haul and regional flights to Madagascar. It typically hosts flag carriers and a mix of international and regional airlines, with budget operators mainly on domestic feeder routes; fares can be variable and often higher than in larger aviation markets. The airport sits about 16–18 km north of downtown Antananarivo — drive times are usually 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. Taxis and shared shuttles are common (fares typically range from modest to moderate), while private transfers and car hire are available. Pros: direct international connections and basic passenger facilities; cons: occasional congestion, limited public transport options and variable journey times into the city.
