Antalya Airport

Antalya Airport (IATA: AYT, ICAO: LTAI) (Turkish: Antalya Havalimanı) is a major international airport located 13 km (8.1 mi) northeast[2] of the city centre of Antalya, Turkey. It is a major destination during the European summer leisure season due to its location at the country's Mediterranean coast. It handled 35,538,387 passengers in 2023, making it the third-busiest airport in Turkey one of the busiest airports in the Middle East. The airport has two international terminals and one domestic terminal. Antalya is one of the major airports in southwestern Turkey, the others being Bodrum and Dalaman. Among the top 50 busiest airports in the world by passenger numbers in 2021, Antalya saw the highest growth in passenger numbers at 125.8%.[citation needed] The airport's passenger numbers that year were among very few international airports to reach a level which matched or exceeded a normal operational year in the 2010s decade.

History

The airport was built to accommodate the millions of passengers who come to Turkey's Mediterranean beaches in summer.[citation needed] It consists of two international terminals and one domestic terminal. The construction of International Terminal 1 started in 1996 by Bayindir Holding and it was ready for service on 1 April 1998.[citation needed] International Terminal 2 was opened in 2005 and the domestic terminal was opened in 2010. The airport is operated by Fraport TAV Antalya A.S., a joint-venture between Fraport AG and TAV Airports.[citation needed]

In July 2011, the airport was selected as Best Airport in Europe (10–25-million-passenger category) by Airports Council International (ACI).[4]

In 2003, the airport handled 10 million passengers, representing an increase of 78% since 1998.[5] According to ACI statistics, Antalya Airport ranked 30th in 2005, 2008 and 2009 for international passenger traffic.[6] In 2008, AYT was the world's 30th-busiest airport in international passengers traffic.[7] In 2009, AYT also held its 30th spot in that category among world airports, with 15,210,733 international passengers. By the end of 2010, it rose to the 23rd spot with over 18 million international passengers.[6][8]

A new airport is due to open west of Antalya, close to Kaş.[9]

Terminals

There are three terminals at the airport, Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and the Domestic Terminal.
