Spichenkovo Airport (AQJ), serving Novokuznetsk, is a regional facility that typically handles domestic flights and a few seasonal or charter services rather than major international traffic. Carriers are usually Russian domestic airlines and low-cost operators, so fares can be relatively affordable compared with larger hubs. The airport sits about 20–25 km southwest of Novokuznetsk city center; ground transfer options commonly include local buses and fixed-route minibuses (marshrutka) taking roughly 30–50 minutes, plus taxis which are faster but more costly. Pros include compact terminals and short walking distances; cons can be limited amenities and fewer flight choices, particularly for international connections.

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s busiest hub for both full-service carriers and regional airlines, with low-cost operators also present. Located about 15 km southeast of the city center, travel times to downtown are usually 20–40 minutes by taxi and ride-hail services, and around 30–50 minutes by public bus or shared shuttle; fares can range from modest local-bus prices up to moderate taxi rates depending on time of day. The airport generally offers a good mix of shops and lounges and can be more convenient for international connections, while peak-hour traffic and occasional winter delays are potential downsides to factor in.
