Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the main gateway to eastern Siberia and typically functions as the region’s international and domestic hub. It is commonly used by flag carriers like Aeroflot and regional airlines for flights across Russia and occasional international services, while low-cost options can be limited. The airport lies about 50–55 km northwest of central Irkutsk; taxi rides often take roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and can cost in the range of moderate Russian fares, while public buses and shuttle transfers usually take around 60–90 minutes for a lower fare. Facilities are practical rather than luxurious, with straightforward terminal layouts; this makes IKT a convenient choice for most travelers but less polished than major European hubs.
