Esenboğa Airport
Is there an airport in Etimesgut, and do flights use it?
The airfield in Etimesgut does not serve scheduled passenger flights; Ankara's passenger flights operate from Esenboğa Airport. Etimesgut is roughly 45–55 km by road from Esenboğa.
"Ankara airport" means Esenboğa; the ESB code on your ticket also refers to Esenboğa. Scheduled passenger flights to and from Ankara use Esenboğa.
From Etimesgut to Esenboğa: a practical option is to go to the city centre first (AŞTİ or Kızılay) and take Ankara Air. The first service from AŞTİ is at 05:00, the last at 22:00.
Distance and journey time depend on the route; for exact figures, get directions from Google Maps.
