## Description

Passenger numbers at Ağrı Ahmed-i Hani Airport (IATA AJI, ICAO LTCO) reached 396,411 in 2025, some 27 per cent up on 2024, yet the airport still has no freight terminal. It is run by DHMI, Turkey's state airports authority, and is rated for 2.5 million passengers a year against just 2,602 aircraft movements in 2025. AJet serves Ankara and Istanbul-Sabiha Gökçen, Turkish Airlines flies to Istanbul and Pegasus to Izmir, so any cargo travels as belly load on narrow-body aircraft; regular general-cargo acceptance on site is not confirmed. The field sits at roughly 1,660 metres in Ağrı province, facing Mount Ararat (5,137 m), and is the closest airport for climbers heading to the summit. What matters logistically is the Gürbulak border crossing near Doğubayazıt, about 130 km east, which carries much of the overland traffic between Turkey and Iran towards Tehran and Central Asia. Genuine air freight moves through the Istanbul hubs (IST and SAW) or by road to Erzurum (ERZ, about 180 km west) and Van Ferit Melen (VAN); intercontinental consignments are consolidated in Istanbul almost without exception. Plan around winter closures on the eastern Anatolian passes and waiting times at the Iranian border.
