Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport (TNA) serves as the primary international and domestic gateway for Shandong’s capital, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and several budget airlines on regional routes. Located about 33–36 km northeast of downtown Jinan, the airport can be reached by airport bus or taxi in roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic; fares usually range from modest flat-rate airport-bus tickets to higher taxi fares. Direct express bus lines and occasional shuttle services provide economical transfers, while taxis and app-hailing offer faster door-to-door trips. Advantages include a modern terminal and decent route coverage across China; downsides can be the distance to the city center and variable peak-hour traffic, which may add to transfer time.

Koltsovo Airport (SVX) is Yekaterinburg’s main international gateway and typically serves as the region’s full‑service hub, handling a mix of domestic and long‑haul flights. It usually hosts national carriers along with some international and low‑cost operators, so fares can range from budget‑friendly to premium depending on route and season. The airport sits about 16 km southeast of the city center; taxis generally take 20–30 minutes (fares vary) while Aeroexpress or shuttle buses run in roughly 30–50 minutes with modest ticket prices. Pros: relatively modern facilities, wide route choice and convenient access for most travelers. Cons: peak‑time queues can form and transfer times may be longer for low‑cost connections. Balandino Airfield is a smaller airfield in the Yekaterinburg area that can be used for general aviation, cargo or occasional charter services rather than regular scheduled passenger traffic. It is not positioned as a commercial hub and typically sees limited airline activity, which can make it a practical option for private flights and specialized operators. Located further from the city center than the main airport, ground transport options are limited and travel times depend on private transfers. Pros: quieter and less crowded than the main airport. Cons: minimal passenger amenities and rare scheduled services, so it’s generally unsuitable for regular commercial travel.
