Airport Information

Ercan Airport is the only active airport in Northern Cyprus (TRNC). The airport usually hosts the flights from Turkey and the UK.

There are also duty-free shopping stores in the departing passenger terminal. Unifree Lacomel Duty Free, Merit Elite Duty Free, Net Voyager Duty Free, Kaner Duty Free and Cipro Duty Free are all among these stores. You can access these stores once you go through passport and police control.

Novosibirsk, which is the largest city of the Siberia region in terms of the surface area, is the third most populous city in Russia with one and a half million population. Novosibirsk has a very cold climate and is noted for its weather temperature that may go down to -40 in the winter months.

At the same time, the city, which is highly developed in terms of automotive and mining industry, is one of the leading centers of the world in this respect. The urban transportation is provided by metro, trolleybus, minibus, bus and taxi. However, the metro is the most convenient option for transportation. Considering the cold weather in the city and the streets are covered with snow in the winter, the metro consisting of 12 stations is the best option among the other alternatives for urban transportation. The single-pass train ticket is about 25 rubles; it is also possible to buy tickets for multiple passes as 5 or 60.

For the urban transportation, the city bus is the option that provides the best transportation alternative after metro. The private bus lines provide a faster service compared to the public transportation buses; unlike the public buses, they do not have to depart/stop at the certain stops. The ticket price for public buses is 10 rubles, while the ticket price for private buses may vary ranging from 15 to 35 rubles.

The minibuses called “Marshrutka”, which serve as a means of urban transport throughout Russia, are also available in the city of Novosibirsk.

Tramway and trolleybus attract attention as other means of transportation in the city. Trolleybus ticket prices are lower than the bus ticket prices by 8 rubles.
