Petrozavodsk Airport (PES), located about 10–15 km south of the city center, serves primarily regional and domestic flights with occasional international charters, so it can feel more like a compact domestic hub than a major international gateway. Airlines that operate here are typically Russian regional carriers, meaning fares are often competitive for short-haul connections but can be higher for infrequent international legs. Ground links include taxis (roughly 20–30 minutes to central Petrozavodsk) and limited bus services with fares usually modest; private transfers are available seasonally. The airport’s strengths are its convenience and short transfer times, while limitations can include fewer dining and lounge options and limited flight frequency compared with larger hubs.

Ulan-Ude Airport (UUD) serves as the main air gateway to the Republic of Buryatia and functions mainly as a regional and occasional international hub rather than a major global connector. It typically handles domestic flights operated by carriers such as Aeroflot, S7 and smaller Russian regional airlines, with seasonal charters sometimes linking to nearby international destinations; fares can be perceived as mid-range for Russian domestic travel. The airport sits about 11–15 km southeast of central Ulan-Ude and is reachable by taxi in roughly 20–30 minutes or by local bus/shuttle in about 30–45 minutes, with taxi fares and bus fares varying by operator. Pros include compact facilities and relatively short transfer times; cons can include limited food and shopping options and fewer frequencies compared with larger Siberian hubs.
