Ankara Transportation Tips by Profsmiley

Flying to Ankara

Esenboga Airport is small and quite disappointing for a capital city of a country as big as Türkiye. There is a new airport construction site next to the present one, however as of January 2005, this is still in its beginning stages...

Most international flights are via Istanbul. There are internal flights that are operated by Turkish Airlines and some other charter companies.

There are some direct international flights by Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa to/from Germany, also by Cyprus Turkish Airlines to/from North Cyprus, and sometimes to/from UK.

The airport is 27 km (app. 16 miles) from the city centre. You can easily take a taxi-cab, or you don't want to save the 'fare', there is a regular Havas bus that would take you to the main bus or the railway station.
