Adıyaman Airport — Adıyaman, Turkey

Adıyaman Airport gets by with one runway at 2,216 feet above sea level, serving the southeastern Turkish city of the same name. Scale here matches the smaller provincial airports scattered across this part of the country. Adıyaman Province sits near Turkey's border region with Syria, in an area better known historically for nearby Mount Nemrut than for the provincial capital itself. A direct flight from here reaches Istanbul or Ankara, sparing travelers a long overland journey through Turkey's mountainous southeast to a larger airport elsewhere in the region.
