Urumqi is served primarily by Ürümqi Diwopu International Airport (URC), the regional international hub for northwest China that typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and domestic budget airlines. Flights to major Chinese hubs and Central Asian destinations are common, and fares can be moderate compared with larger coastal gateways. The airport sits about 16–20 km northeast of downtown Ürümqi; taxi rides usually take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can be moderately priced, while airport shuttle buses and occasional airport express services provide cheaper transfers in roughly 35–50 minutes. Parking and amenities are generally adequate for long-haul connections, though winter weather can affect comfort and punctuality; for quicker city access consider taxis for convenience or shuttles for lower cost.

Moscow is served by several airports with distinct roles. Sheremetyevo (SVO) is the main international hub, typically handling most long-haul and premium carriers and can be pricier on transfers and lounges; it lies about 30–40 km northwest of the city center and is usually reachable by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes (tickets generally fall in a moderate fare band) or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic. Domodedovo (DME) acts as another major international gateway often used by full-service and some low-cost carriers, roughly 40–50 km south; Aeroexpress runs about 45–55 minutes, with road transfers similar in time and variable cost. Vnukovo (VKO) is commonly seen as a budget- and charter-friendly option to the southwest, about 25–35 km away; Aeroexpress connects it in around 35–45 minutes and buses/taxis are economical but subject to congestion. Zhukovsky (ZIA) is a smaller, more occasional international gateway east of the city, usually serving specific carriers or seasonal routes; road travel can take 45–70 minutes. Pros: good rail links from major airports and multiple carrier choices; cons: distances can make road travel slow in peak hours and transfer prices and comfort levels vary by airport and service.

The cost of a one-way flight from Urumqi to Moscow ranges from $257 (October 2026) to $314 (February 2027). On average, the ticket price is about $268–$270.
