history
At the beginning of the 1970s, civil flight operations in Izmir were handled by Cumaovası Airport, which was located at the location of today's airport. Compared to today's Adnan Menderes Airport, the Cumaovası Airport was much smaller in area and became inadequate for civilian flight operations over time. Because of this, it was decided to move civil flight operations to the Çiğli-Kaklɩç airport, which is located north of Izmir and used by the military. From then on, Çiğli Kaklɩç Airport was used for military and civil purposes. Civil flight operations at Cumaovası Airport were discontinued. In the early 1980s it was decided to build a new civil airport for Izmir at the location of the Cumaovası Airport. For this purpose, the area of the old and much smaller airport was enlarged and completely rebuilt. Construction work on the new airport began on May 29, 1984. In October 1987, the new international airport named “Adnan Menderes” was opened and civil flight operations were relocated south of Izmir again. The Çiğli-Kaklɩç-Airport will only be used for military purposes after the opening of the Adnan-Menderes-Airport.
The airport is named after the former Turkish Prime Minister Adnan Menderes , who was executed as one of the main culprits after the Istanbul pogrom because of the “organization of anti-Greek riots in 1955” .
Operating company
In May 2005, TAV Airports Holding was awarded the contract to build and operate the international terminal. The construction costs for the building complex and for the parking garage amounted to around € 125 million. The new international terminal was opened by TAV Airport Holding eight months before the actual completion date on September 13, 2006.
On November 17, 2011, TAV Airport Holding was also awarded the contract to build and operate the inland terminal with an offer of 610 million euros (plus taxes). TAV Airport Holding will therefore operate Adnan Menderes Airport until 2032. In place of the old inland terminal, a new one is to be built with an investment of 250 million euros.
Havaş (Havaalanları Yer Hizmetleri A.Ş) takes over the ground handling at Izmir Airport. In July 2005, TAV Airport Holding took over a 60 percent stake in Havaş; 40 percent are held by Swissport .
Airport equipment
Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport has two parallel runways, 3240 meters long and 45 meters wide. Simultaneous operation is not possible due to the short distance. The 16L / 34R runway is mainly used. The runway 16R / 34L is only used in emergencies or for maintenance work. For take-offs and landings in the dark and in fog, the runways have lights and ILS of category CAT II.
The apron is divided into 114,400 m², 146,730 m² and 26,400 m² areas and has a capacity of 34 aircraft.
The airport fire brigade has a total of 13 emergency vehicles, including six fire engines and four rescue vehicles. It meets the requirements of the ICAO category (International Civil Aviation Organization) CAT 9.
Terminals
In addition to the international terminal, the airport also has two terminals for domestic flights and for the arrival of passengers without checked baggage. The terminals are structurally separated from each other. The connection between the terminals and the airport train station is provided by walkways with treadmills.
International Terminal
The 107,699 m² international terminal opened on September 13, 2006 and has a capacity of five million passengers per year. It has nine passenger boarding bridges and eight gates for boarding with apron buses. In the 5354 m² check-in hall there are 66 check-in counters and sales and information stands for various airlines. There are 16 counters for arriving passengers and 18 counters for departing passengers for passport controls. In the check-in hall and in the security-checked area (after passport control) there are various shopping and dining options on a total of 4891 m². The duty-free area with a total of 6606 m² is available for arriving passengers near the baggage claim area and for departure guests in the security-checked area after passport control.
The international terminal offers a parking garage for 2231 cars and parking for 80 buses on an area of 69,000 m².
The international terminal and the associated car park were awarded the European Steel Design Award in Luxembourg in September 2007. The "European Steel Design Award" is presented every two years by the "European Convention for Constructional Steelwork".
Domestic Terminal
The old and first terminal of the airport with a floor area of 28,500 m² will serve as a domestic terminal after the construction of the new international terminal and has a capacity of four million passengers per year. The renovation and modernization of the terminal was carried out in 2006 by the airport operator TAV Airports Holding. The cost was approximately $ 12 million. The terminal has six passenger boarding bridges and 38 check-in counters. Various shopping and dining options are available in the terminal. There are parking spaces for 1005 vehicles on an area of 30,697 m².
The inland terminal with a capacity of four million passengers / year is clearly overloaded due to the rapidly increasing number of passengers. At the end of 2011, this terminal was used by 6,078,477 passengers. As a result, this terminal is now to be demolished and a new inland terminal built at the same location. On November 17, 2011, TAV Airport Holding was awarded the contract to build and operate the inland terminal until 2032 and will build a new terminal with an investment of 250 million euros. The transition from the international terminal to the new domestic terminal is to be guaranteed by a bridge. For the construction of the new terminal, domestic passengers will be handled in the International Terminal from January 2, 2012.
