Samarkand International Airport (SKD) serves as Uzbekistan’s main gateway to the historic city and typically functions as an international hub with some domestic connections. It usually handles national carriers like Uzbekistan Airways alongside a handful of regional and seasonal airlines, so fares can be mid-range compared with smaller domestic fields. The airport lies about 5–8 km northeast of the city center; taxis commonly take 15–25 minutes and may cost in the low single-digit USD equivalent, while shared vans or hotel shuttles can be marginally cheaper. Pros: compact terminals and straightforward immigration for international arrivals. Cons: limited late-night services and fewer low-cost carrier options than larger regional hubs.
