"Gazipasa-Alanya Airport, which is a small airport situated on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, is located 4km north of Gazipasa, and 33km southwest of Alanya.

The airport was built in 1992 and completed in 1999. It has a capacity of around 500,000 passengers a year (the existing terminal building has a floor space of 2,144m² and a parking capacity for 105 vehicles. It did not open because it was built between the sea and a mountain with too short a runway. In recent years the runway has been extended with the result that flights are now being chartered from Northern European countries who have previously used Antalya International Airport.

Gazipasa-Alanya is closer and more convenient to Alanya therefore cutting down on the current transfer time. (Gazipasa-Alanya is only 40km (20 minutes) from the heart of Alanya as opposed to a two-hour drive to Antalya airport. The airport will be perfectly placed to serve Alanya, Kemer, Side and Manavgat.

Flights from Germany,Holland, Denmark and Norway are already scheduled to fly into the Airport in 2012

The refurbished and improved facility is widely expected to have a positive effect on property prices in the area over the next two years as access to holiday homes will become easier . TAV holdings the owner of the airport are already in talks with EasyJet about operating from the airport ".
