Erzincan Airport — Erzincan, Turkey

ERC is the code for Erzincan Airport, serving Erzincan in eastern Turkey's Anatolian highlands. The airport connects this historically earthquake-prone city, situated on a seismically active fault line, to Istanbul and other major Turkish cities via domestic flights. Erzincan sits within a fertile valley surrounded by mountains, and the airport supports both civilian travel and functions tied to a nearby military presence common in this strategically located eastern region. ERC provides an essential air link given the area's challenging winter road conditions and mountainous terrain, which can complicate ground travel across eastern Anatolia. Passenger volumes are modest but steady, reflecting the city's role as a regional center rather than a major tourist destination.
