Location
Bandırma, Turkey
Bandırma Airport (IATA: BDM, ICAO: LTBG) is a domestic airport located near the city of Bandırma in Balıkesir Province, northwestern Turkey. Situated on the southern shore of the Sea of Marmara, it primarily serves regional and leisure travelers connecting Bandırma to Istanbul and other Turkish cities.
