Antalya Airport: Expanding Global Connectivity and Elevating the Passenger Experience

Fraport TAV Antalya Airport completed its major terminal expansion in 2025, increasing annual passenger capacity from 40 million to 65 million and strengthening its position as one of the Mediterranean's leading tourism gateways.

Antalya, Türkiye – Antalya Airport continues to expand its international and domestic route network, connecting more than 230 destinations across over 50 countries through partnerships with more than 100 airlines. In 2025, the airport welcomed a record 39.2 million passengers.

Its network development strategy focuses on strengthening connectivity across established and emerging tourism markets. The United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the Nordic countries remain key European markets, with ongoing airline partnerships aimed at increasing flight frequencies, extending seasonal operations and supporting year-round connectivity.

At the same time, the airport is targeting further growth in Central and Eastern Europe, including the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and the Baltic states. Beyond Europe, selected markets in the Middle East and CIS region, particularly the Gulf countries, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, offer additional opportunities for inbound tourism and network diversification.

Through close collaboration with airline partners, Antalya Airport continues to pursue sustainable route development and long-term growth. Alongside expanding its global connectivity, the airport is also enhancing the passenger experience through investment in terminal infrastructure and premium services.

Fraport TAV Antalya Airport's premium hospitality brand, FTA Exclusive, was introduced in 2025 alongside the airport's major expansion, bringing a new approach to the passenger experience. With three distinctive levels of service — Comfort, Elite and Premium — it is designed around the different ways holidaymakers want to travel.

Antalya knows how to welcome the world. As one of the Mediterranean's leading holiday destinations, its reputation is built on exceptional hospitality. And at Antalya Airport, the first welcome and final farewell can shape the memory of an entire holiday.

That idea inspired the creation of FTA Exclusive. More than simply lounge access or priority lanes, it is a new approach to the airport journey, based on years of welcoming travellers from around the world and understanding what matters most to them.

For those who want a peaceful pause before flying, Comfort Lounge offers a welcoming retreat from the busy terminal: somewhere to enjoy a cup of Turkish tea or coffee, stay connected online or simply relax before departure.

Elite Lounge & Service takes things further, combining an upgraded lounge with a personally assisted journey through the airport. It brings all priority services together in one easy-to-book package, just a click away, whether arriving in or departing from Antalya. Guests can enjoy an open buffet, an all-inclusive bar and comfortable, family-friendly spaces, making the airport experience as relaxing as the holiday itself.

Then there is Premium Lounge & Service: the ultimate expression of FTA Exclusive hospitality. Touch down in Antalya and imagine being welcomed straight from the aircraft by your own personal assistant. No searching for directions, no wondering where to go next. Just a warm welcome and the feeling that everything has been taken care of. On departure, inspired by the privacy and exclusivity of a private terminal, Premium offers dedicated airport formalities, à la carte dining, an ultra-all-inclusive bar, wellness amenities and apron transfers. Travelling in style.

At the prestigious Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Awards 2026, organised by The Moodie Davitt Report, FTA Exclusive Premium Lounge was named Airport Lounge of the Year, winning both the Global and European titles.

The achievement reflects Fraport TAV Antalya Airport’s commitment to combining international service standards with Antalya’s renowned culture of hospitality.

Each level of service has its own character, but all share one ambition: to make the airport journey something to look forward to. Three different ways to travel, one shared philosophy.

Because the finest holidays deserve an equally memorable journey — from resort to runway.
