Afyon Air Base — Afyonkarahisar, Turkey

Afyon Air Base, near Afyonkarahisar in west-central Turkey, runs two runways, 3,310 feet above sea level, functioning primarily as a military installation rather than a civilian passenger airport, as its name suggests. Afyonkarahisar Province sits on Turkey's Anatolian plateau, an elevated inland region considerably higher than the coastal parts of the country, and Afyon itself has long been associated with the base rather than with commercial flights. Turkish military aviation relies on this two-runway layout, with civilian access typically limited compared with the commercial airports found in Turkey's larger cities.
