The Antalya airport ( Turkish Antalya Havalimanı ), which is now a national and two international terminals is, situated about ten kilometers east of the center of Antalya and is on the well-developed highway D400 achievable. Within Turkey, after Istanbul Airport, it ranks second in passenger volume with over 35 million passengers per year (as of 2019). With 670 connections from 108 different airlines (as of 2014), Antalya Airport is the airport with the most destinations worldwide.

The airport has three runways, with runways 18C / 36C and 18L / 36R being used for civil traffic. Both can be operated independently of one another and have rapid roll-off paths . The third runway 18R / 36L is reserved for the air forces based in the western part of the airport .

Terminals

The terminals at Antalya Airport are independent of each other, which also means that there is no structural connection to get from one terminal to the other. An exception is the domestic terminal, which was built onto Terminal 1.

National Terminal

The inland terminal attached to Terminal 1 can be clearly seen

The old and first terminal of the airport ( Turkish: Antalya Havalimanı iç hatlar terminali ), which is rather small compared to the other building complexes with 20,480 m² of floor space and four gates, handled all flights until 1998. At peak times such as the holiday season, the completely overcrowded terminal was sometimes chaotic, so that holidaymakers had to wait up to half an hour at over 40 ° C and without sun protection before they could enter the building due to security checks at the entrance. Similar situations were found at the check-in counters and at the passport controls. The terminal was recently operated well above the planned capacity limit, which subsequently led to sometimes massive delays. After the renovation a few years ago, this terminal was mainly used by AtlasGlobal , Onur Air , Pegasus Airlines and Turkish Airlines to handle domestic flights.

In 2009 a new terminal was built at the same location, which went into operation in spring 2010. The terminal is managed as a domestic terminal with the number 3 and is only intended for domestic flights. The check-in hall is directly adjacent to that of Terminal 1. The terminal has 4 passenger boarding bridges. Inside, the building is also equipped with fast food restaurants and a VIP / CIP area from Turkish Airlines .

1st international terminal

The modern 1. International Terminal (Turkish: Antalya Havalimanı 1. dış hatlar terminali ), which is much larger with 54,300 m² of floor space , went into operation on April 1, 1998. The construction costs for the building complex and for an upstream parking lot with a total of 725 parking spaces amounted to around US $ 65 million. This terminal relieved the old terminal by handling all air traffic from then on. As a result, the old terminal was no longer used and stood empty. With the ongoing development of Turkey as a popular holiday destination in the Mediterranean region, however, the number of passengers increased so much that there were also similar bottlenecks in processing here in some cases. The regular use of the terminal is currently mainly for international Sunexpress flights. All international flights are handled here in winter.

With the opening of the 2nd international terminal (Turkish: Antalya Havalimanı 2. dış hatlar terminali ) on April 7, 2005, which has now doubled the passenger capacity, all problems seem to have been solved for the time being. It is almost identical to the 1st international terminal. The construction costs for the approximately 77,000 m² building complex and for an upstream parking lot with a total of 750 parking spaces amounted to around US $ 85.5 million. A CIP / VIP terminal is also located in this building complex. Almost all international flights from German and Turkish airlines (with the exception of SunExpress, Germania and Pegasus Airlines) are handled at this terminal. This terminal has been closed for several years in the winter season. All international flights are then handled at Terminal 1.

Operating companies

Since September 23, 2009, Fraport IC Içtaş Antalya Airport Terminal Investment and Management Inc , a subsidiary of Fraport AG , has been operating all three terminals. The concession to operate all three terminals runs until 2024.

Previously, the operator relationships were as follows:

  • After the national terminal had been operated by the state aviation authority DHMI since it went into operation , Fraport became a co-operator of the terminal from mid-September 2007. The management responsible for terminal operations company called itself from now on Fraport IC Ictas Antalya Airport Terminal Investment and Management Inc .
  • In 1999 Fraport acquired 50% of the shares in the 1st international terminal, in 2006 it took over all the shares and became the sole shareholder. This terminal has also been operated jointly under the umbrella of Fraport IC Içtaş Antalya Airport Terminal Investment and Management Inc. since mid-September 2007 .
  • The 2nd international terminal has been operated jointly by Çelebi and IC since it was commissioned and on September 23, 2009, the Fraport subsidiary was responsible.
    When Çelebi and IC opened the “competing terminal” in April 2005, the number of passengers at the terminal managed by Fraport AG fell by more than 60%, which meant that the overall consolidated balance sheet with regard to the increase in passenger numbers was even negative.

Transport links

There are regular bus connections from the airport to the city center and to the bus station outside the city (Turkish otogar). The city bus line 600 connects Terminal 2 and the national terminal (including Terminal 1) with the bus station every 30 minutes and also stops in some parts of the city center on the hour-long journey. The stops are in front of the National Terminal (also for Terminal 1, here at the exit on the top right on the roofing a sign: Bus 400 m) and Terminal 2 and are marked with a sign with a white D on a blue background with the Additional otobüs as well as the scheduled departure times. Regardless of the distance to be traveled, the usual price of TL 3.60 (2015) for a one-way trip must be paid. Exit Terminal 1 Walk to the National Terminal exit: stop near the taxi rank. Terminal 2: At the level of the taxi rank at the bus arrival point for departure.

There is also a private shuttle service from Havaş Ground Handling from the national terminal (near Terminal 1). The stop is near the taxi rank. The fare is disproportionately higher at 9 TL, but the bus also stops in the tourist center of Antalya and along Konyaaltı Street. Modern, air-conditioned coaches with underfloor luggage compartments are used. The departure times depend on the arrivals at the national terminal, where the separate stop is also located. In the opposite direction, the bus runs every hour from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with additional trips at 3:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. Return only from the city center from the Turkish Airlines office.

The city of Antalya also has a new light rail connection from northern Fatih via the bus station to the city center (AntRay). An extension of the route to the airport might prove useful later, but is only planned.

Domestic traffic and Turkish airlines

Turkish Airlines offers national scheduled flights as well as international connections, some in codeshare with SunExpress. National flight movements were only recorded by Turkish Airlines until a few years ago; Since the deregulation of the Turkish aviation market, airlines such as AtlasGlobal , Onur Air , Freebird Airlines , Pegasus Airlines and SunExpress have also been offering domestic scheduled services. The main domestic connection is the route to Istanbul . There are also regular flights to Ankara , Adana and other parts of the country. Antalya Airport was also used by Cyprus Turkish Airlines as a mandatory stopover on flights between the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the United Kingdom . Cyprus Turkish Airlines ceased operations in 2010. The flights to Ercan in Northern Cyprus are now operated by almost all the Turkish airlines mentioned.

Airlines from the German-speaking area

Antalya Airport is served all year round. Especially in the summer season, numerous airlines offer connections from German-speaking countries, with Antalya being one of the most important medium-haul destinations in the charter business. These include Lufthansa , Condor , Germanwings , TUIfly , SunExpress Germany and Tailwind Airlines .

Flights from Switzerland will be operated by Edelweiss Air from Geneva and Zurich and in autumn 2015 for the first time by Helvetic from Bern .

Airline from Russia and the CIS countries

Russian airlines such as Kolavia , Redwings , Ural Airlines and UTair have a very large share of the international passenger volume with their charter flights.

Until about 2010, Russian-made aircraft such as the Tupolev Tu-154 and Ilyushin Il-86 were daily guests at the airport. Due to the fleet modernization of the Russian airlines, these aircraft are rarely used today. Saravia regularly uses Yakovlev Jak-42 on its charter flights . Since around 2010, aircraft types from the manufacturers Boeing and Airbus have predominantly dominated Russian airlines .

Other airlines

Antalya is regularly served by airlines from all over Europe and charter traffic dominates here too. This includes airlines from Western Europe, such as B. Thomas Cook UK , Transavia and Luxair as well as airlines from Northern and Eastern Europe. Occasionally there are full charters on behalf of tour operators to Egypt and Israel .

Incidents

Sky Airlines Boeing 737-400 TC-SKF parked after damage
  • On 10 October 2011, a crashed Boeing 737-400 of Sky Airlines with the air vehicle registration TC-SKF at the airport Antalya. On landing, the right main landing gear collapsed and as a result the aircraft hit the runway with the right engine and finally came to a standstill in an inclined position. The reason for this should be a burst tire. All 156 occupants were uninjured, but the aircraft concerned was taken out of service.
