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.
The city of Trabzon, which is assigned to the airport, is about four to six kilometers to the west. It can be reached by taxi, private car or airport bus. Daily minibus connections with the eastern provinces of Rize and Artvin are available. There is a parking lot for 385 vehicles in front of the terminal.
The airport is currently being connected to various destinations by numerous airlines. Domestic air traffic is mainly served by Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines , some of which fly directly to Trabzon from Istanbul and Sabiha Gökçen Airport several times a day. AnadoluJet , a subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, also flies to Ankara Airport around a dozen times a week . There are also flights to Antalya and Adana.
