Location

Eskişehir, Turkey

Hasan Polatkan Airport (IATA: AOE, ICAO: LTBY) is a regional airport serving Eskişehir, a major industrial and university city in northwestern Turkey. The airport is named after Hasan Polatkan, a Turkish politician who served as Finance Minister in the 1950s and was executed following the 1960 military coup.

Its role is somewhat limited by Eskişehir's excellent high-speed rail links to Ankara and Istanbul, which offer a competitive alternative for many travelers.
