The Trabzon Airport , ( Turkish Trabzon Havalimanı ) is a Turkish commercial airport with international classification near the town of Trabzon . It is operated by the state DHMI .

history

The airport was opened for business in 1957 and after its initial military use is now used exclusively for civilian purposes. Since the airport is designed for international and domestic flights, the handling facilities for international and domestic traffic are, as was previously the case, in two separate buildings. Both buildings are comparatively young due to the modernization and expansion measures that followed in the 1990s on the occasion of a planned expansion of the airport and which dragged on for several years.

Terminals

The international terminal has a floor area of ​​9710 square meters and has been in operation since 1998. It has a capacity of 1.5 million passengers a year and has ten check-in counters, bars, restaurants, prayer rooms for Muslims and, unlike the domestic flight terminal, a duty-free shop. There is also a health service here.

The terminal for domestic flight operations, which is almost exactly ten years younger, has been in operation since the end of 2008. It is somewhat more spacious and generously built - the floor space is 14,035 square meters - and is also designed for a larger number of passengers (two million a year). It has a total of 28 check-in counters and numerous shops and bars. As in the international terminal, there is a health service here.

Others

The airport has a paved runway, which also has an instrument landing system (ILS). The apron has a size of 340 × 102 meters and can accommodate seven commercial aircraft.
