Ankara's historic military airfield near the capital.

Location
Ankara, Turkey
Güvercinlik Airport (ICAO: LTAB) is a military airfield located in Ankara, Turkey, historically associated with the Turkish Armed Forces. It sits within the Güvercinlik district of the capital and has served primarily military and governmental aviation purposes rather than commercial passenger operations. The airfield is not open to scheduled commercial airline traffic and does not hold an IATA code, reflecting its non-commercial status. It has been used for military training, official state flights, and rotary-wing operations over the years. With Ankara Esenboğa Airport (ESB) serving as the primary commercial gateway to the Turkish capital, Güvercinlik has remained a secondary, restricted-access facility focused on defense-related aviation activities.
