Izmir Adnan Menderes International Airport in a nutshell
Adnan Menderes Airport is situated 18 km from Izmir, Turkey’s second-largest city.
Traffic is very heavy, particularly during the summer season, when the already very busy year-round routes are supplemented by numerous summer charter flights from European destinations to the Turkish Riviera.
Regular year-round services are mainly operated by the low-cost carriers Pegasus Airlines and AJet, whilst SunExpress has its main base here.
Flights from Izmir mainly serve destinations within Turkey, Europe and the Middle East. The busiest route (up to four times an hour) is to Istanbul.
