Erzincan Airport (ERC/LTCD), also known as Erzincan Yıldırım Akbulut Airport, is a medium-sized domestic airport serving Erzincan in eastern Turkey. Opened in 1988, it sits about 8 km southeast of the city center and mainly handles domestic flights to Istanbul and Ankara. Its single runway and compact terminal make it a quick, low-stress gateway to the region.
💡 Local Tip
Because the airport is small and close to town, many frequent flyers arrive only 60–90 minutes before domestic departures—but in winter, allow extra time for snow, fog, and possible diversions.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are the simplest way to reach central Erzincan, taking about 10–15 minutes. Municipal buses or dolmuş services may also connect the airport with the city, but they run less frequently, especially in the evening. For early departures or winter travel, pre-book a taxi or arrange a hotel transfer.
