Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) serves as the main international and domestic gateway for the Xi’an region and typically functions as a busy hub for both full-service carriers and several Chinese budget airlines. Located about 40–45 km northwest of downtown Xi’an, journey times to the city center are usually 40–60 minutes by express bus or 30–50 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares for airport bus services commonly fall in a modest range while taxi trips can be higher. High-speed rail and shuttle options are increasingly integrated for connections. Pros: good range of international routes and modern facilities; cons: longer transfer distances to central Xi’an and occasional congestion during peak seasons.

The airport sits about 15–20 km northwest of Sanya city center; taxi rides usually take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often in the mid-range for Chinese cities, while airport buses and occasional hotel shuttles can offer cheaper, slower transfers.
