Nalchik Airport (NAL) serves as a small regional gateway for the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic and typically handles domestic flights and occasional seasonal connections to nearby cities. It is usually favored by regional carriers and budget operators rather than major international airlines, so fares can often be competitive for short hops. The airport lies about 15–20 km northeast of Nalchik city centre; taxi rides commonly take 20–35 minutes and can be relatively inexpensive, while local buses or shared shuttles may take 30–50 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: compact layout and short walking distances make check‑in and baggage claim convenient. Cons: limited amenities and infrequent long‑haul options mean connections can require transfers via larger Russian hubs.

The terminal is usually compact and functional, so check-in and navigation tend to be straightforward, though peak times can feel crowded and amenities are limited compared with larger international hubs.
