Tambov is served by Tambov Donskoye Airport (TBW), a small regional airport that typically handles domestic flights and a limited number of seasonal connections.

The airport lies roughly 10–15 km north of Tambov city centre; surface transfers include taxis and private car rides of about 20–30 minutes, plus occasional shuttle or local bus services that can take roughly 30–45 minutes and cost modest fares. Pros: compact terminal and short walking distances make check-in and transfers usually quick.

Chelyabinsk Airport (CEK), also known as Balandino, is the region’s main international gateway and typically handles a mix of domestic and seasonal international flights rather than being a major global hub. Airlines are often Russian carriers and low-cost or regional operators, so fares can be competitive for domestic routes but may rise on limited international services. The airport sits about 18 km (roughly 20–40 minutes by car) south of the city center; taxis and rideshares are common, while occasional airport shuttle buses offer cheaper transfers (journeys can take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic). On the plus side it’s compact and straightforward to navigate; on the downside options for late-night connections, extensive dining, and long-haul routes can be limited.

Fly direct from Tambov to Chelyabinsk for the fastest, most convenient way to get between these two Russian cities — no layovers, no extra hassle. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, choosing a nonstop option saves valuable time and makes the journey more comfortable, so you can arrive refreshed and ready to go.
