Passenger Numbers Drop at Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport: Industry Voices Concern

In the first half of 2025, Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport served 385,041 passengers, down 10% compared to the same period last year.

Tourism professionals attribute this decline to flight planning gaps, economic pressures, and a reduction in international routes, especially from Germany, the Netherlands, and Lithuania.

While new flights from Central Asia (e.g., Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan) have helped somewhat, they haven’t reversed the trend.

Hotel associations report a lack of expected summer occupancy, and concerns are rising over future revenue and employment if no action is taken.
