Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often positioning as a premium gateway; it lies about 40–50 km northwest of the historic centre and can take 35–60 minutes by taxi or 40–60 minutes by Havaist shuttle, with fares typically higher than local options. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) sits on the Anatolian side and is often used by low-cost and regional airlines; it’s roughly 40–50 km from central Sultanahmet across the Marmara, reachable in 45–75 minutes by Havatas or municipal buses and in similar time by taxi, usually at lower outlay. Pros: IST offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper and less congested for budget carriers. Cons: both airports can be far from central sights and travel times vary with heavy traffic, while transfers between airports require extra planning.
Bukhara Airport (BHK) is a small regional gateway serving Bukhara and surrounding areas, typically handling domestic and occasional international flights. It’s usually frequented by Uzbekistan Airways and smaller carriers, so fares can be relatively affordable compared with major hubs, though seasonal variation may apply. The airport sits roughly 4–6 km from the historic city centre; taxis take about 10–15 minutes and often cost a modest local fare, while shared minibuses can be cheaper but slower. Pros: quick transfers, compact terminal and short walking distances. Cons: limited dining and lounge options, fewer flight frequencies and connections compared with larger Uzbek airports.
