Location

Trabzon, Turkey

Trabzon International Airport (IATA: TZX, ICAO: LTCG) serves the city of Trabzon on Turkey's northeastern Black Sea coast. It is one of the busiest airports in the region, handling both domestic Turkish routes and a growing number of international connections, particularly to the Middle East and Central Asia. The airport is notable for its runway, which is built on land reclaimed from the Black Sea, making it one of the few airports in Turkey constructed on such terrain. This unusual geography constrains expansion but gives the facility a striking coastal setting. Trabzon Airport is operated by DHMİ (State Airports Authority of Turkey) and has undergone multiple capacity upgrades to accommodate rising passenger numbers driven by tourism, trade, and the large Georgian and Central Asian transit traveler communities.
