The airport lies about 12–15 km northeast of Shymkent city center — a taxi ride usually takes 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly in the modest local range; shared minibuses and occasional hotel shuttles can be cheaper alternatives. Pros: compact layout and short transfer times; cons: fewer airline choices and limited late‑night services compared with larger airports.
