Alanya airports. The amazingly beautiful city of Gazipasa in Turkey (Alanya)

After the start of the tourism boom that swept Turkish resorts in the early 2000s, authorities in the Alanya region began to think about opening an international airport to serve the increasing flow of flights from abroad. In 2010, the international airport of Alanya called Gazipasa began its work.

Brief historical background

Initially, the regional air terminal was built in the 1980s, during the first wave of tourist interest in the resorts of Alanya. Prior to this, all tourists arriving on vacation in Alanya flew to the airport of neighboring Antalya. To get to Alanya, it was necessary to drive 120 km. But 10 years later, Alanya airport closed due to the fact that local authorities did not have the opportunity to spend money on its maintenance, and the flow of tourists was not as large as experts predicted.

But in 2006, during the "second wave" of tourist interest in the resorts of Alanya, the Turkish authorities announced a competition for the best project for the modernization and reconstruction of the airport. The competition was won by the TAV holding, to which, under the terms of the tender, the rights to own the aviation complex were transferred. The result of large-scale work was the international airport in Alanya, Gazipasa, capable of serving over 1 million passengers per year.

A bit of history:
since 2010, the airport began to carry out domestic flights - daily departures and arrivals along the Gazipasa-Istanbul-Gazipasa route, and became International in 2011, but even then the planes flew only to European countries.

The dream of Russians about the airport in Alanya came true in 2017: Gazipasa is only 45 km from the city center. The Russian Pobeda Airlines (a subsidiary of Aeroflot) began to operate regular flights on the Moscow-Alanya-Moscow route.
