It can function as both an international hub for flights to Moscow, Europe and parts of Asia and a convenient option for domestic routes.

Pros: straightforward layout, direct connections to key Russian cities and occasional international services. Cons: limited late-night options and fewer long-haul frequencies than major national hubs.
