Erbil is a historical city with a 6.000-year history and has hosted many civilizations. Despite all kinds of negativity, Erbil is an emerging city. The city is literally reborn from its ashes with its large streets, business centers and shopping malls.
However, there are not many alternatives you can prefer to get to the city center after arriving at Erbil International Airport. You can take a taxi or benefit from free airport shuttle services run by the airport to reach the city.
Taxi is the most preferred option to reach the airport. Taxi option stands out because public transportation systems are not sufficient. You can also comfortably reach the airport at affordable prices by taking the advantage of "shared taxi".
There are also shuttle services arranged by tourism companies in the city center to the airport. You can reach the airport by taking the advantage of shuttle services. If your hotel offers shuttle service, you can also benefit from this option as well.
Erbil Airport is one of the airports with the longest runway in the world. The airport was opened to air traffic in 2010. You can take advantage of services such as a baby care room and playground for children in the airport building. In addition, you can also enjoy your time in duty-free area and at restaurants.
The city center is only a few kilometers away from Bogorodskoye Airport and reachable in a short amount of time through some different transport options. The quickest method is to take one of the taxis waiting at the terminal exit. If you prefer to use public transport you use a ‘marşrutka’, a type of minibus. This inexpensive journey should take you to the city center in 10-15 minutes, however since the vehicles are quite small it’s not advisable to use them if you are a large group or have a lot of luggage. There’s no rental car agency in the airport so renting a car isn’t an option to reach the city center, but you can rent one from the car rental agencies in the city once you get there.
