Ulan-Ude is served primarily by Ulan-Ude Airport (MXK), a regional airport that acts as a gateway for domestic flights and some international charters rather than a large international hub. Typical carriers include Russian domestic airlines and regional operators, so fares can be moderate to budget-friendly compared with bigger Siberian airports. The airport sits roughly 8–12 km northeast of Ulan-Ude city centre; taxis and fixed-route minibuses (marshrutkas) are common, with journeys taking about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and costing modest sums. Pros: compact layout and straightforward connections for onward travel. Cons: limited frequency of long-haul services and fewer on-site amenities compared with major hubs.
