Novosibirsk is served mainly by Tolmachevo Airport (OVB), the city’s international and regional aviation hub that handles both full-service and low-cost carriers, plus some cargo operations. Typical airlines include Aeroflot and S7 alongside a number of budget and regional operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on route and season. The airport sits roughly 16–20 km west of the city center; taxis and rideshares normally take about 25–40 minutes, while suburban buses or fixed-route shuttles can take 40–60 minutes for a lower fare. Pros: modern facilities and international connections; cons: occasional peak-hour queues and a moderate transfer time to downtown.
Urumqi Diwopu International Airport (URC) is the main international gateway for Xinjiang and typically functions as a regional hub for both full-service carriers (like Air China and China Southern) and several domestic budget airlines. Located about 16–20 km northwest of the city center, transfers usually take 30–50 minutes by taxi or private car depending on traffic; fares are commonly in the low-to-mid range for Chinese cities. Public options include an airport shuttle and intercity buses, which can take 40–60 minutes for a cheaper fare, while some metro and rail extensions may be available or planned. The airport is convenient for international and long-haul connections and tends to offer a wider range of amenities, but peak times can bring queues and longer security waits. For purely domestic, low-cost travel, passengers sometimes compare fares and schedules against smaller regional airports or different Chinese hubs when prioritizing price over directness.
