Uytash Airport (MCX) serves Makhachkala as the region’s primary gateway, typically handling a mix of domestic and some international flights rather than functioning as a major global hub. Carriers are usually Russian domestic airlines and a few regional operators, with fares often perceived as moderate compared with bigger national hubs. The airport sits roughly 20–25 km southeast of the city center; road transfers by taxi or fixed-route minibus (marshrutka) commonly take about 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically modest. Private transfers and rental cars are available for greater comfort. Pros: generally compact and straightforward to navigate; convenient for regional connections. Cons: limited long-haul options and fewer amenities than larger international airports.

Heydar Aliyev International (GYD) is Baku’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s premium hub, handling most long-haul and regional carriers alongside some low-cost services. Located about 20–25 km northeast of the city centre, transfer options usually include taxis (around 25–35 minutes depending on traffic), airport shuttle buses and private transfers; fares can range from modest flat-rate shuttles to higher taxi tariffs. The terminal is generally modern and comfortable with a good mix of shops and lounges, so convenience is a strength, while occasional wait times at peak periods and the extra travel distance to central Baku can be downsides for budget-conscious visitors.
