Istanbul is served by two major airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and typically offering a wide range of lounges and transfer facilities; it sits on the European side about 35–45 km from the historic center, with airport shuttles, taxis and Havaist buses taking roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and usually costing a modest fare. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) operates mainly as a secondary airport favored by low-cost and some regional airlines, located on the Asian side about 35–50 km from central districts; transfers include shuttle buses, private transfer services and taxis with travel times of 45–75 minutes and generally lower fares for budget operators. IST can be more convenient for international connections while SAW can be cheaper for direct point-to-point travellers, though congestion and distance to specific neighborhoods can affect total journey time and comfort.

Fly direct from Istanbul to Chita for the fastest, most convenient way to get between these two cities — fewer hassles, no long layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop option saves valuable time and offers a more comfortable travel experience worth the difference.

Chita is served mainly by Chita-Kadala Airport (HTA), the region’s primary air gateway that functions as a domestic hub with some seasonal or feeder connections rather than a large international terminal. Flights are typically operated by Russian carriers and regional airlines, so fares can often be moderate compared with major national gateways, though prices vary by season. The airport lies about 10–12 km northwest of Chita city center; taxis take roughly 20–30 minutes and can cost the equivalent of a modest local fare, while shared shuttles or local buses may be available for lower rates but take longer. Pros: generally compact and straightforward to navigate, good for quick regional transfers. Cons: limited airline choice and fewer amenities compared with bigger international airports.
