Transportation from Aktobe City Center to Aktobe Airport
Although this information is not fully accepted by every geographer, the city of Aktobe is located at the easternmost tip of Europe. The region stretching from the southern skirts of the Ural Mountains on the Russian border to the Kizilkum Desert in Karakalpakstan is quite large.
Aktobe, the fifth largest city in Kazakhstan, owes its richness in terms of oil, travel and underground minerals to the fact that its land was found under the oceans millions of years ago. Although not a very popular destination for tourists, the city, which has many opportunities for investors and businessmen, is a place that has made a name for itself in trade throughout history due to its location on the ancient Silk Road.
Reminding Almaty with its wide streets and design reflecting Kazakhstan's urbanism, Aktobe's population is around 400 thousand today.
Due to its commercial identity, transportation from Aktobe to other cities is mostly by train, but it is possible to leave Aktobe by plane. Aktobe Airport is very close to the city center and you can actually reach the airport even on foot. However, 6 km is not a short distance, so taking a taxi is a more comfortable option. You can either take a taxi from the street or ask your hotel to call you a taxi. Although Aktobe Airport is close to the city center, it is a safer method to negotiate the price with the taxi driver from the beginning.
You can also agree with a reliable tour company or your hotel to reach the airport from Aktobe by private transfer. Prices may vary depending on how many people you are and the type of vehicle you choose, but it is a very comfortable journey to go directly from your hotel to the airport without hassle. It takes approximately 20 minutes to drive from the city center to Aktobe Airport.
There is also a bus that goes between Aktobe Airport and the city, but you need to confirm the departure times from your hotel or from the airport by phone. The bus, which has flights between the airport and the city center, does not work very systematically. However, buses that reach the airport from the center in 20 minutes are a more economical transportation method than taxi.
