Turkish Air Force base on the Aegean coast near İzmir.

Location

Çiğli, Turkey

Çiğli Airbase (IATA: IGL, ICAO: LTBL) is a military airfield located in the Çiğli district of İzmir, Turkey. It serves primarily as a Turkish Air Force installation and is home to the Turkish Air Force's jet training activities, including operations of the 2nd Main Jet Base Command. The base has historically hosted NATO exercises and allied air force activities given Turkey's membership in the alliance. While it carries an IATA code, it does not function as a regular commercial passenger airport and civilian access is strictly controlled. Çiğli Airbase is situated near the Gulf of İzmir along the Aegean coast, placing it in a strategically significant position. Commercial air traffic serving İzmir is handled by the nearby Adnan Menderes Airport rather than Çiğli.
