City Description
Irkutsk pairs an industrial and academic economy with its role as the departure point for Baikal tourism, which concentrates strong summer and winter visitor peaks. Arriving tourists, including international groups, pass through the airport before onward road transfer toward the lake. The airport is located inside the city a short drive from the centre, which is unusual for an airport of this scale and keeps access times low.
