Adana Şakirpaşa Airport (ADA/LTAF) was the primary international airport serving Adana, Turkey, located in the Seyhan district just 3 km from the city center. It operated for decades as the main gateway to the Çukurova region until commercial flights ceased in August 2023 with the opening of the new Çukurova International Airport. The site remains a military and general aviation facility.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors to Adana know that the old Şakirpaşa Airport was prized for its proximity to the city, but now the new Çukurova airport requires planning extra time for transfers. For a quick bite before departure, try the local Adana kebab at the airport's food court—though the best versions are in the city center.
