Taxis are the primary and most reliable method for getting to and from the town of Yuzhno-Kurilsk, located about 21 km away. There are no official airport taxi ranks or ride-sharing apps. It is strongly recommended to pre-book a ride with a local taxi service by phone, as taxis may not be readily available upon arrival.
There are no international or major national car rental companies operating at Mendeleyevo Airport. Car rental may be possible through small, local providers or private individuals in Yuzhno-Kurilsk, typically offering 4x4 or off-road vehicles. Arrangements must be made well in advance by contacting these providers directly.
A local bus service (Route №515) connects the airport with the town of Yuzhno-Kurilsk. The bus schedule is generally coordinated with flight arrivals and departures. This is the most economical option, but service is infrequent, so verifying the current schedule is advisable.
Easy landing and take off with Aurora airlines from Yuzhno-Salkalinsk, little questioning over my Russian visa I think due to being in disputed territory and close proximity to military installations. Exploring active volcanoes in the area, vegetation and ancient oaks all over Kunashir and Kurilsk is a small but lively town.
