It usually handles a mix of domestic Russian carriers and occasional charter or seasonal flights, with fares often perceived as mid-to-high due to remote location and limited competition. The airport sits about 18–25 km from Yakutsk city centre; travel time by taxi or private transfer can be around 25–40 minutes depending on weather and road conditions, while occasional shuttle buses or local buses may take longer. Taxi fares can vary and public bus tickets are generally inexpensive. Pros: direct access to the republic, appropriate facilities for regional travel. Cons: fewer flight options and possible weather-related delays can affect comfort and schedule flexibility.

The airport lies about 16 km southeast of central Ulan-Ude; road transfer usually takes roughly 20–30 minutes by taxi or private car, with fares commonly varying depending on operator, while local buses and occasional shuttle services can be cheaper but slower (around 40–60 minutes).
