Gateway to northeastern Turkey's historic Kars region.

Location
Kars, Turkey
Kars Airport (IATA: KSY, ICAO: LTCF) is a domestic airport serving the city of Kars in northeastern Turkey. It provides essential air connectivity for a region that is otherwise relatively remote, connecting Kars to major Turkish hubs such as Istanbul and Ankara. The airport is operated by the Directorate General of State Airports Authority (DHMİ) of Turkey. It serves a modest volume of passengers, primarily domestic travelers, tourists visiting the nearby medieval ruins of Ani, and those exploring the surrounding Eastern Anatolian highlands. Kars is known for its harsh winters and proximity to the Armenian border, and the airport plays an important logistical role for the region. Flight frequencies are limited, and the airport primarily handles turboprop and narrow-body jet services.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building handling domestic passenger operations.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to Kars city center is primarily via taxi, with limited public bus options available.
Airlines here
