Departure passengers

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk airport terminal is the largest in the region and is located in the regional capital in the Khomutovo planning area, on the southern outskirts of the city, 10 km from the center.

You can get to the airport complex from the city or in the opposite direction by shuttle buses, taxis or private transport.

By private car

If the speed limit is observed, the journey from the city center to the airport will take 10-15 minutes. On the A-391 highway, it is necessary to move in a southerly direction, and then turn off the highway to the right towards the airport (there will be a sign).

The complex has convenient parking spaces for passengers and greeters with private transport.

By regular bus

Three bus routes run from the center to the terminal and back — No. 3, 8, 63 (terminal terminal). Travel time by public transport will be 30-40 minutes. Buses operate on the line from 6:30 to 22:00.

By commuter train

From the railway station to the stop "Khomutovo planning area" the surface metro takes 5-7 minutes. Traveling by this type of transport will cost the passenger 30 rubles. However, you will need to walk another 10 minutes from the station to the terminal or take a bus.

To ensure transport security at Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk airport, passengers and visitors must pass security control at the entrance to the airport.
