Eskişehir's gateway serving central Anatolia with regional connections.

Location
Eskişehir, Turkey
Hasan Polatkan Airport (IATA: AOE, ICAO: LTBY) is a public airport serving Eskişehir, a major industrial and university city in northwestern Turkey. The airport is named after Hasan Polatkan, a Turkish politician and former Finance Minister who died in the 1961 coup executions. The airport primarily handles domestic flights, connecting Eskişehir to Istanbul and other Turkish cities. It serves as an important air link for a city that is also well connected by high-speed rail to Ankara and Istanbul.

Turkish Airlines and its subsidiary Anadolu Jet have operated routes from this facility.

Gateway to Eskişehir's vibrant culture and storied Anatolian heartland

Hasan Polatkan Airport serves Eskişehir, a lively university city in northwestern Turkey known for its Ottoman heritage and modern urban character.

Dining

Food and beverage options inside the airport are limited to a small café offering snacks, sandwiches, and hot drinks. Eskişehir's city centre, reachable within 20–30 minutes, offers a far wider range of dining from traditional Anatolian dishes to modern cafes along the Porsuk River. Travellers with time to spare are encouraged to head into town for a fuller culinary experience.

Traveller Tips
  • Eskişehir's high-speed train (YHT) to Ankara and Istanbul is often faster and more convenient than flying — consider combining modes of transport.
  • Arrive at the airport well ahead of departure as security queues can be unpredictable despite the terminal's small size.
  • The city centre's tram network is an easy and affordable way to explore Eskişehir once you arrive by transfer or taxi.
  • Local currency (Turkish Lira) is strongly preferred at smaller venues; carry cash for taxis and tips.
