The airport lies about 20–25 km southwest of the city center; travel time by road is typically 30–50 minutes depending on traffic. Options include regular Aeroexpress-style bus and shuttle services (roughly 40–60 RUB fare), taxis or ride-hail (fares depend on distance and surge), and private transfers. Pros: straightforward layout and direct links to the city; cons: peak-hour road congestion and more limited late-night public transit.

Penza Airport (Zemtsovo) functions primarily as a regional/domestic gateway rather than a major international hub, serving local and regional flights with occasional charter services.

Pros: compact terminal, short walking distances and quick processing on light-traffic days.
