Location

Tarsus, Turkey

Çukurova International Airport is a greenfield airport project under development near Tarsus, in Mersin Province, Turkey. It is intended to serve the wider Çukurova region, which encompasses the major cities of Adana and Mersin, supplementing or eventually replacing Adana Şakirpaşa Airport for regional air traffic. The airport has been in planning and construction phases for a number of years, with various delays affecting its completion timeline. When operational, it is expected to handle significant passenger volumes given the population density and commercial activity of the Çukurova plain. As of the most recent available information, the airport had not yet entered commercial service, meaning details on airlines, terminals, and ground transport links remain subject to change as the project progresses.

Encyclopaedia

Çukurova International Airport is an airport in the Tarsus district of Mersin Province, southern Turkey. It serves the provinces Mersin and Adana. The airport was built in order to replace its predecessor Adana Şakirpaşa Airport due to the old airport’s location of being in the city centre, and had no room to expand or be modernised. When Adana Şakirpaşa Airport closed to commercial passenger airlines, many airlines switched their route to the new airport for Adana, namely Çukurova Airport.
