Kaklıç Airport, also known as Çiğli Airport, is located in the Çiğli district of İzmir, Turkey, and has historically served as a military airbase operated by the Turkish Air Force. The facility is home to the Turkish Stars aerobatic display team and has occasionally been used for civilian and general aviation purposes. Its proximity to İzmir makes it a strategically positioned airfield on the Aegean coast of Turkey.
- Main Terminal — A modest facility primarily serving military personnel, general aviation, and occasional civilian charter operations.
- Taxi services available outside the airport
- Private car and pre-arranged transfers
- Public bus connections toward central Çiğli and İzmir
- Car rental options available in İzmir city centre nearby

Dining options within the airport itself are very limited given its primary military function. The surrounding Çiğli district offers local Turkish restaurants, kebab houses, and cafes. İzmir city centre, a short drive away, provides a wide variety of Aegean cuisine and seafood dining experiences.
- Confirm access permissions in advance as the facility retains an active military function.
- İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) is the main commercial hub for the region if flying commercially.
- Carry identification at all times, as security checks are more stringent at military-adjacent airfields.
- Arrange ground transport in advance, as taxi availability near the base can be limited.
