About Antalya Airport

Antalya Airport (AYT) is the main airport for Antalya and the Turkish Riviera on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. It stands in the Muratpaşa district, about 13 km (8 miles) northeast of Antalya city center, and handled about 39 million passengers in 2025, most of them on international flights.

Holiday flights arrive from across Europe: Jet2.com, TUI, easyJet and Corendon Airlines bring travelers from the UK, Germany and the Netherlands, while SunExpress and Pegasus Airlines fly both European and domestic routes. Turkish Airlines and AJet link Antalya with Istanbul and Ankara.

International flights use Terminal 2, expanded and reopened in April 2025, and domestic flights use the separate Domestic Terminal. Terminal 1, the older international terminal, has had no international flights since 27 October 2025, and free ring shuttles link the buildings.

From the airport, most travelers head west into Antalya's old town, Kaleiçi, and the Konyaaltı beach, or a short way south to the resort hotels of Lara and Kundu. Others continue east to Belek, about 35 km away, and on to Side, or southwest along the coast to Kemer. Alanya is a longer drive of about 130 km to the east.

Arrival tips for Antalya Airport

International flights land at Terminal 2. You go first to passport control, where visitors line up separately from Turkish citizens. Citizens of the US, Canada, the UK and most EU countries can visit Turkey visa-free for short stays; other nationalities may need an e-visa, which you apply for online before you fly.

After passport control, collect your bags at the belt shown on the screens and pass through customs into the arrivals hall. Tour operator representatives and pre-booked drivers wait at the arrivals exit, so look for your name sign or your tour operator's desk there.

Official taxis wait at the rank in front of the arrivals exit, and the drivers carry an airport ID card. If you are flying on within Turkey, the Domestic Terminal is a separate building: take the free ring shuttle from in front of departures.

Turkey uses the Turkish lira and is on Turkey Time (UTC+3) all year, with no daylight saving time.

Ground transportation

The tram and city buses are cheap for central Antalya; a taxi or private transfer is easier with luggage and for the resort areas.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked driver meets you at the arrivals exit and goes door to door to your hotel in Antalya, Lara, Belek, Side or Kemer. It suits families, groups and anyone heading to a resort outside the city.

  • Taxi from Antalya airport

    Taxis wait in front of the arrivals exit of every terminal, with a fare board beside the rank. They go door to door and suit short trips to the city and Lara; longer rides to the resorts add up.

  • AntRay tram

    The AntRay tram runs from the airport toward Meydan and Fatih in the city, with a connection to the old town. It is the cheapest way into Antalya but slow with luggage, at about 50 minutes to İsmetpaşa near Kaleiçi.

  • City buses 600 and 800

    Bus 600 runs to the city bus station (Otogar) by way of the shopping malls, and bus 800 runs to Lara and Konyaaltı beaches. Check times in the Antalyakart app.

  • Havaş airport bus

    Havaş buses run from the airport to the 5M Migros shopping center on the west side of the city, near the Kemer minibus stop, in about 45 minutes.

  • Tour operator bus

    Package travelers ride their tour operator's bus to the hotel. The welcome desks are just outside the terminal, and the bus may stop at several hotels on the way.
