Getting Around
How to get to and from Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at OVB
Novosibirsk Tolmachevo Airport is connected to Novosibirsk and the wider Russia transport network by multiple ground transport options.
A suburban electric-train stop ('Aeroflot') sits about 2 km from the terminal, linked by shuttle, with services running into Novosibirsk-Glavny station — most travelers still find the express bus more convenient as a direct door-to-door option.
Express bus 111E runs to Novosibirsk's main bus station and Novosibirsk-Glavny railway station for about 44 rubles; bus 112 serves the MEGA shopping center (33 rubles); minibus route 312 also runs frequently to Novosibirsk-Glavny, departing as often as every 5 minutes at peak times.
An official rank operates at arrivals; the roughly 20 km run into central Novosibirsk typically costs 800–1,200 rubles and takes 30–40 minutes.
Yandex Go is the standard app in Novosibirsk and reliable at Tolmachevo, but as everywhere in Russia, foreign-issued cards haven't worked since 2022 — you'll need cash or a Russia-linked payment method to actually pay.
A small number of local and international-brand desks operate in the terminal, though availability and card acceptance for foreign visitors can be inconsistent.
Minibus 312 is usually the fastest way into the center given its frequency — it beats waiting for the scheduled express bus if one has just left, and it's a fraction of the taxi fare.
