It usually handles a mix of domestic flights and seasonal international services, with full-service carriers and several budget operators on the roster; fares can be comparatively affordable for domestic routes though international tickets may be pricier. The airport lies about 52 km (roughly 40–60 minutes by road) southeast of Irkutsk city center; transfer options include taxis (around 1,500–2,500 RUB depending on time and service), fixed-route minibuses and private shuttles taking roughly an hour, and occasional car hire. Pros: relatively compact terminal and straightforward navigation; convenient for travelers bound for Lake Baikal. Cons: distance from the center can add time and cost, and off-peak public transport frequency may be limited.
