Malatya Erhaç Airport — Malatya, Turkey

Malatya Erhaç Airport (MLX) serves Malatya, a city in eastern Turkey renowned as one of the world's leading producers of apricots. The airport, sometimes called Malatya Erhaç due to its location near the Erhaç area outside the city, handles domestic flights connecting Malatya to Istanbul, Ankara, and other major Turkish cities, supporting both business travel and tourism to the region's historical and agricultural sites. Eastern Anatolia's mountainous terrain and distance from major coastal cities make air travel especially important for regional connectivity. MLX also has ties to Turkish military aviation history, as the area has hosted air force operations in the past. Today it functions primarily as a civilian regional airport supporting Malatya's growing economy and university.
