If your plane is delayed during the night, it's hard to find even a 9191 taxi. It's better to arrange it before arriving to Airport. One to try is Taxi Prim and arrange for them to be waiting for you near to the exit, even a few hours, if it's necessary. They have English speaking and helpful drivers.
