An airport in the middle of greenhouses and banana plantations. Turkeys new airport is small and cute, similar to those seen in tropical countries. It is far from the chaos and carousal of major airports, a fact that is cheering.
I was aboard the first plane that landed at the Gazipasa Airport in Alanya, Antalya. I flew together with Sani Sener, chief executive of TAV, the company that completed the airport construction and is now operates it.
Before the flight, we met Sener, Murat Ornekol, TAVs operations director, Serkan Kaptan, the business development and investments director, and Dr. Waleed Youssef, the strategy director of the company, at Istanbuls Ataturk International Airport. The flight crew consisted of captain pilots Cumhur Guler, Muzaffer Dortok and cabin crew Tuce Tuna. We boarded the Hawker 800 XP.
Fifty minutes after take off we were over Antalya Airport. We turned left to Gazipasa and started descending from 11,000 meters.
As we passed Alanya, the hotels and tourist facilities along shore were replaced by the green banana plantations, and then we saw Gazipasa Airport to our left, near the Taurus Mountains.
We turned and saw the runway at direction 08 and as we descended toward 430 meters, we were flying at 288 kilometers per hour. Captain Cumhur opened the flaps and then the landing gear.
As we descended to 250 meters, the pilots radioed the tower to say they see the runway. Under normal procedure, if the pilots do not see the runway at this altitude, they have to ascend and pass. But we landed on runway 08-26, which is 30 meters wide and 1,850 meters in length, and nearly half way down, the eight-seated Hawker XP stopped and started taxiing to the terminal building where the district governors of Alanya and Gazipasa, mayors, tourism sector representatives and citizens were waiting to greet the TAV flight.

TAV won right to operate the airport for 25 years in 2007. The company believes Gazipasa will be Turkeys first boutique airport. As Gazipasa, 2.5 hours from Antalya by car, has a different market, and foreign companies are warm to the new airport.
Currently the airport can handle full-capacity Airbus A319s, Boeing 737-300s and 500s, according to Sener. TAV is also in talks with airlines such as Germanwings, Hamburg International and Ryanair. As the area surrounding the runway is cleared and developed and the 90-meter high safety fence is completed, flights could begin as early as September. But for the time being, the airport serves private jets.
We will keep you posted about the latest news.
