Three terminals make the first decision at Antalya Airport a simple one: check which terminal your flight uses, because Terminal 2 stands about 2.5 km from Terminal 1 and the Domestic Terminal. Everything else follows from that: where the hire car is handed over, which taxi rank is yours, where the tour-operator desks wait and which car park is closest.

Terminal

Terminal and services at Antalya Airport

Three passenger terminals handle the flights at Antalya Airport: International Terminal 1, the Domestic Terminal and International Terminal 2. Arriving by road, drivers pass Terminal 1 first, then the Domestic Terminal and the CIP building, and reach Terminal 2 last. Terminal 1 and the Domestic Terminal have separate entrances but are connected inside, so passengers can walk from one to the other.

Terminal 2 stands about 2.5 km from Terminal 1, roughly five minutes by road. A free ring shuttle runs every 20 minutes in both directions between the Domestic Terminal and Terminal 1 on one side and Terminal 2 on the other; the stops are in front of the departures areas. Public buses and taxis also link the terminals.

Terminal 2 carried almost every international airline in the operator's airline list on 15 November 2026: 216 of the 218 entries were assigned to Terminal 2, among them British Airways, easyJet, Jet2.com, TUI, Wizz Air UK, SunExpress, Pegasus, Turkish Airlines and Corendon. Terminal 2 almost doubled in size to about 225,000 m² when the extension opened in April 2025. Allocation can change by season, so the terminal printed on your booking or shown in the operator's list is what counts.

Arriving international passengers at Antalya Airport pass passport control first, then collect their bags in the reclaim hall, where trolleys are free, and leave through customs. Visa desks for nationalities that need a visa stand in the arrivals hall before passport control; British citizens do not need one for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period, according to the UK government. Currency exchange offices in the baggage halls of the international terminals are open 24 hours, and the tour-operator counters and the taxi stand follow directly outside the exit.

Inside, the terminals of Antalya Airport follow an open-gate concept: security is centralised, and the gates, shops and restaurants share one area in which no gate is more than about five minutes away, according to the operator. Check-in is on the ground floor. Information desks in every arrivals and departures hall are staffed in Turkish, English, German and Russian, and one hour of Wi-Fi is free with a PIN from the kiosks in the halls.

Location

Location, access and distances

Antalya Airport lies to the north-east of the centre of Antalya and is connected to the city by the D400 highway, the main coast road of the Turkish Riviera. The operator gives the drive from the centre as approximately 20 minutes: follow the signs for Alanya, and the airport exit comes up before the road leaves the city. The terminals appear in the order Terminal 1, Domestic Terminal, Terminal 2.

Eastbound, the D400 leads from Antalya Airport past the turn-offs for Lara and Kundu to Belek, Serik, Side, Manavgat and Alanya. Westbound, the same road crosses Antalya towards Konyaaltı and continues along the coast to Beldibi, Göynük, Kemer and Tekirova. Drivers heading for Kemer therefore cross the whole city, which is why the journey takes about an hour despite the moderate distance.

Travellers continuing by long-distance bus use the intercity bus terminal of Antalya, which the operator places about 4 km north of the city centre. The AntRay tram runs from Antalya Airport to the bus terminal, and coaches and minibuses leave from the bus terminal for towns along the whole coast. Timetables of the tram and the city buses are shown in the Antalyakart app, and the municipal transport information line answers on 0242 606 07 07.

History & airlines

The history of Antalya Airport

Antalya Airport opened in 1960 and grew with the package-holiday boom on the Turkish Riviera. International Terminal 1 commenced operations in 1998 and International Terminal 2 in 2005, according to the operator's own timeline. A new Domestic Terminal followed in 2010, built next to Terminal 1.

Fraport has been involved in the terminals of Antalya Airport since 2007, at first together with the Turkish construction group IC İçtaş. In 2018 TAV Airports became an equal partner of Fraport in the operation of the terminals. In December 2021 the Fraport-TAV joint venture won the tender of the State Airports Authority for a new 25-year operating period from January 2027 to December 2051; TAV Airports puts the total rent at 7.25 billion euros plus VAT.

The first phase of the expansion of Antalya Airport ran from 2022 to 2025 and cost about 850 million euros, according to TAV Airports. The new terminal buildings opened on 12 April 2025: Terminal 2 almost doubled to about 225,000 m² and the Domestic Terminal to about 75,000 m². The operator gives the capacity after this phase as 65 million passengers a year and as more than 82 million once the whole project is complete; phase 2 is scheduled for 2028 to 2029 and phase 3 for 2038 to 2039.

Traffic at Antalya Airport has recovered far beyond the level before the pandemic: about 35.7 million passengers in 2019, about 9.7 million in 2020, about 38.1 million in 2024 and about 39.1 million in 2025. Germany, Russia and the United Kingdom were the three largest country markets in 2025, and Manchester ranked third among all destinations after Düsseldorf and Moscow Vnukovo, according to the operator.
