Şırnak Şerafettin Elçi Airport — Şırnak, Turkey

NKT identifies Şırnak Şerafettin Elçi Airport, serving the city of Şırnak in southeastern Turkey near the borders with Iraq and Syria. Opened in the 2010s, the airport was built to improve air connectivity for this mountainous and historically underserved region of the country, reducing long overland travel times to major Turkish cities. NKT primarily handles domestic flights to hubs like Istanbul and Ankara, operated by Turkish carriers, supporting both local residents and government or security-related travel given the region's proximity to sensitive border areas. The airport features a modern single terminal built with regional development in mind, reflecting broader Turkish government investment in expanding air access across its eastern provinces.
