The airport lies about 25–30 km southwest of the city center; road transfer by taxi or rideshare usually takes around 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, while buses and airport shuttles can take 40–60 minutes with lower fares. Pros: straightforward layout, direct connections to key Russian cities and occasional international services.

The airport lies about 20–25 km southeast of the city center; taxi rides commonly take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and cost around modest, locally variable fares, while shared minibuses (marshrutkas) provide cheaper transfers in roughly the same time.
