Irkutsk International Airport

Irkutsk, Russia · Europe

IKT is Irkutsk's in-city gateway to Lake Baikal: a record 4.05 million passengers in 2025, three small separate terminals and bus boarding for every flight. It is close to the centre and cheap to reach by trolleybus. Against it: cramped old buildings, pay-only lounges with no Priority Pass, roubles-only payments for foreigners, and knock-on delays when Moscow airspace closes.
