1 .2.5 ANKARA

General description Ankara Esenboga International Airport (ESB) is the gateway from central Turkey to the world. The state-of-the-art terminal welcomed 13.7 million passengers in 2019 and 7.0 million passengers in 2021, i.e. 51.1% of the 2019 traffic level. Ankara is the second biggest city in Turkey with a population of 5.5 million. It is the capital of Turkey, and hosts the Turkish government and all foreign embassies. Located at the centre of the country’s motorway and rail networks, Ankara and its surroundings are also an important region for commercial activities. Ankara Esenboga Airport (ESB) is well connected to the city. Transportation to the airport is possible by taxi, shuttle and bus. The renovation of the road leading to the airport has considerably reduced the transport time to the ESB. A new metro line to link the airport to the city centre is also planned. Distance to city centre is 28km. As the centre of bureaucracy and politics, Ankara has a booming economy. For both economic and political reasons, Ankara is attracting more and more people to the city. The propensity to

fly increases as flying becomes a routine rather than a privilege. In addition, Ankara and its surroundings host many European ethnic Turks who tend to visit their friends and relatives at least once a year. In short, Ankara has great potential for the future due to its status as a centre of government, its economic growth and its large number of emigrants in Europe. ESB traffic has high returns due to its unmet traffic potential and high-end passenger profile. The construction of the brand-new Ankara Esenboga Airport (ESB) was completed in 2006. The airport consolidates domestic and international terminals in a single building, which increases operational efficiency and facilitates the flow of passengers. The facility is equipped with the latest technologies, all contributing to the security and efficiency of the operations. The fluidity of operations guarantees quick execution times in the ESB. For Covid, Ankara implemented measures in line with EASA, ECDC, ICAO and ACI recommendations. Ankara received ACI health accreditation in 2020, which was renewed in 2021,
