Saransk Airport (internal code SKX) is a small regional airport that typically handles domestic and some seasonal charter flights rather than major international services. It is usually served by Russian carriers and low-cost operators on routes to Moscow, St. Petersburg and nearby regional centers; fares can be competitive compared with larger hubs but may rise during peak times or events. The airport lies roughly 7–10 km north of Saransk city center, and travel options generally include taxis (about 15–25 minutes), occasional shared shuttles and local buses taking around 25–40 minutes with modest fares. Travelers can expect a compact, easy-to-navigate terminal with limited facilities—convenient for short transfers but less equipped for long layovers compared with larger airports.

Uytash Airport (MCX) serves Makhachkala as the region’s primary commercial gateway and is typically positioned as a regional/international hub rather than a low-cost base. It generally handles a mix of domestic routes to Moscow and other Russian cities plus some seasonal or charter international flights; carriers tend to be national and regional airlines. The airport is about 25–30 km from Makhachkala city center, with travel times usually around 30–50 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; shared shuttles or private transfers can be slightly cheaper, while local bus services offer the most economical option but are slower. Typical fares can vary; taxis are commonly perceived as mid-priced relative to other Russian airports. Pros: straightforward layout and relatively short transfer times into the city. Cons: limited shopping and lounge facilities and fewer low-cost carrier choices compared with larger Russian hubs.
