Irkutsk International Airport (IKT) serves as the primary air gateway for the city and nearby Lake Baikal, functioning as a regional international hub rather than a large global connector. It typically hosts a mix of Russian carriers and some seasonal or regional airlines, with fares often viewed as mid-range for domestic flights but rising during peak travel seasons. The airport lies roughly 50–60 km southeast of Irkutsk city center, with taxi transfers taking about 40–60 minutes and shared shuttles or private transfers somewhat longer; expect taxi fares to usually be moderate while shuttle minibuses can be cheaper. Ground links include regular bus or minibus services to the city and onward connections toward Baikal, though services can be less frequent in off-peak hours. Pros: convenient for Baikal access and a relatively straightforward layout; cons: distance from central Irkutsk and limited late-night public transport options can affect convenience for some travelers.
