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.
