The city centre, roughly a 15-minute drive away, offers a wider selection of local restaurants serving Elazığ's regional cuisine, including slow-cooked lamb dishes and freshwater fish from Keban Lake. Options inside the terminal are limited, so arriving travellers are advised to dine in the city.

Traveller Tips
  • Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure as the terminal is small and security queues can build quickly during peak hours.
  • Taxis do not always use meters, so agree on a fare to the city centre before departing — expect around 100–150 TRY depending on current rates.
  • The airport has limited ATM facilities, so carry sufficient Turkish lira before arriving.
  • Book rental cars in advance during summer months as availability can be limited at this regional airport.
