Shymkent International Airport (SCO) serves as the primary gateway for southern Kazakhstan and typically functions as a regional/international hub rather than a low-cost outpost. You’ll usually find a mix of national carriers like Air Astana and SCAT Airlines alongside occasional international connections; fares can be competitive for domestic routes and moderate for long-haul services. The airport sits roughly 16–20 km northeast of Shymkent’s center, with taxi rides often taking 20–30 minutes and minibuses or shared shuttles around 30–45 minutes depending on traffic; expect modest fares on public shuttles and higher rates for private taxis. Pros: straightforward layout and decent regional connectivity. Cons: limited long-haul frequency and fewer on-site amenities compared with major international hubs.
Riyadh is served mainly by King Khalid International Airport (RUH), the city’s large international hub handling most long-haul and regional carriers, with a smaller role for private and charter flights; low-cost options may use the same terminal complex. The airport sits about 35–45 km north of downtown Riyadh, and journeys typically take 30–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Taxi and ride-hailing are common, with fares usually reflecting the longer distance; airport shuttles and private transfers offer fixed routes and rates. Pros: modern facilities, wide airline choice and good international connectivity. Cons: distance from the center can mean higher transfer times and costs compared with inner-city airports.
