Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the main air gateway for Irkutsk and the southern Lake Baikal region, functioning as a regional international hub rather than a large global transfer point. It typically handles a mix of Russian carriers and seasonal charters, with fares often perceived as mid-range for domestic flights but varying for international routes. The airport lies about 7–15 km southeast of central Irkutsk; by taxi the journey usually takes 15–30 minutes and can cost roughly 300–800 RUB, while local buses and shared shuttles take 30–50 minutes for lower fares. Pros: compact layout and direct regional connections; cons: limited late-night services and fewer long-haul options compared with major hubs.
Chita is served mainly by Kadala Airport (HTA), the region’s primary air gateway handling most domestic and some regional flights. It typically functions as a practical hub for Siberian and Russian domestic carriers rather than long-haul international operators, so fare levels can feel mid-range but competitive for the region. Kadala lies about 15–20 km west of Chita city center; taxi rides usually take 20–35 minutes depending on traffic and cost roughly a local moderate fare, while occasional shared shuttle or private transfer options can be slightly cheaper per person. The airport is compact and usually efficient for quick connections, though services and dining can be limited compared with larger hubs — a trade-off of convenience for fewer amenities.
