İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport, International airport in Gölcükler Mahallesi, Turkey.
İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport is an international airport near Gaziemir with two parallel runways and modern terminal buildings. The facility handles both domestic and international flights to destinations throughout Turkey and Europe.
The airport began operations in 1987 and received a new international terminal in 2006. A domestic terminal expansion followed in 2014, modernizing the facility's capacity.
The airport carries the name of a former Turkish Prime Minister and serves as a key entry point for travelers heading to the Aegean coast. For many visitors, arriving here marks their first impression of the Izmir region and its surrounding areas.
A train connection runs every ten minutes between the airport and Izmir city center. Bus services also operate as an alternative for getting into town.
The two runways can operate independently despite being very close to each other. This allows the airport to handle multiple aircraft simultaneously.
