It can be seen as the city’s full‑service airport rather than a low‑cost base. The airport lies about 13–20 km south of central Dushanbe; road transfers usually take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, while taxis and private shuttles are common—expect fares to vary with provider and time of day. Public minibuses may be cheaper but slower.
