Antalya Airport is one of Türkiye’s busiest international airports and a strategic transportation hub serving some of the Mediterranean’s most important tourism destinations. Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the airport provides millions of passengers with a safe, secure, and comfortable travel experience through its modern infrastructure, high operational capacity, and commitment to international service standards.
Following a tender conducted by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMİ), the operating rights of Antalya Airport were awarded to Fraport TAV Antalya Investment, Construction and Operation Inc. for a 25-year concession period covering January 2027 through December 2051.
As part of the new concession period, extensive expansion investments have significantly increased the capacity of terminal buildings, aprons, and operational areas. Upon completion of the project, the airport’s annual passenger capacity will exceed 82 million passengers. Fraport TAV Antalya is responsible for terminal operations, planning and implementation of infrastructure investments, management of commercial areas, and the delivery of passenger services in line with international standards.
