Istanbul is served by two main airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Istanbul Airport functions as the city’s primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and often seen as the pricier but more connected option. It sits about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center; travelers can reach central districts in roughly 40–70 minutes by taxi or private transfer (higher fares), or 45–75 minutes by Havaist shuttle and public transfers with fares usually in the mid-range for Istanbul. Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: longer transfer times from central neighborhoods. Sabiha Gökçen is positioned on the Asian side and usually caters to many low-cost and regional airlines, making it a common choice for budget-conscious flyers and flights to regional destinations. It’s around 30–45 km from central points like Sultanahmet and Taksim, with airport shuttles, buses and taxis typically taking 45–90 minutes depending on traffic; fares are generally lower than from the main airport. Pros: often cheaper fares and closer to eastern districts; cons: fewer long-haul options and potentially longer journeys for European-side travelers. Both airports can be linked by road and public transport, so choosing between them often comes down to price, airline preference and your final destination within the city.

Pobedilovo Airport (KVX) is the main air gateway for Kirov, functioning primarily as a regional and domestic hub with a handful of scheduled connections to Moscow and other Russian cities. Flights are typically operated by regional carriers and a few larger airlines, so fares can be relatively budget-friendly compared with major international hubs. The airport sits roughly 25–35 km south of Kirov city center; travel by taxi or private transfer usually takes about 30–45 minutes, while occasional shuttle buses can take closer to an hour — expect modest fares that are generally lower than rail or long-distance coach alternatives. Pros: compact terminal and straightforward check-in; cons: limited dining and shopping options and fewer flight choices outside Russia.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Istanbul to Kirov is $144 (October 2025), while the maximum is $276 (January 2026). On average, a ticket costs $201–$214.
