Kirkuk, which is small city located in the north of Iraq, is situated in the Kurdistan Region. Kirkuk Airport in the city is no longer available. If you want to prefer air transportation from the city, you can make your flight through Sulaymaniyah Airport, which is located in the nearby city of Sulaymaniyah. It would be useful to remind that there is political turmoil in the city.
There is nearly a one and a half hour distance between Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah Airport. No public transportation is provided because of the turmoil in and around the city. No car rental options are available around the city as well.
You won’t have any difficulty finding a taxi in the city. As an alternative, you can also take the advantage of the taxis that offer shared taxi service. Going to the airport directly by a taxi may not be affordable for you. However, the shared taxis offer you a more affordable service compared to the standard tariff. Taking a taxi is the best option for a safe journey to reach the airport.
Sulaymaniyah Airport, which connects Kirkuk, Sulaymaniyah and the surrounding cities to the world, has a limited number of places where you can meet your needs such as eating, drinking, shopping and resting.
Mardin Airport is 20 kilometers away from the city center. Transportation to the city center is easy to a great extent. You can benefit from airport shuttle services, minibuses, taxi or rental car as your transportation alternatives.
It is possible to reach the city center by the shuttle services provided by airline companies. You can save time by finding out the shuttle departure times which are set according to flight departures.
Minibus is another option you can take if you don’t have too much luggage. You should arrive at Diyarbakır Kapı, which is the entrance gate of Old Mardin that is also known as Yenişehir part of Mardin, by taking a minibus on Kızıltepe-Mardin highway after walking about 100 meters from the airport. There you can get on a minibus to the city center. Moreover, the cost you need to pay will be less.
If you want to travel by taxi, you can take advantage of the taxis waiting for passengers in front of the terminal building. Bargaining with the taxi driver in advance will be useful for a lower taxi fare.
