## Description

Named after Corporal Seyit, the Gallipoli gunner remembered for carrying artillery shells by hand, Koca Seyit Airport (EDO/LTFD) serves the Gulf of Edremit on Turkey's Aegean coast. Traffic reached 286,257 passengers in 2025 — 230,146 domestic and 56,111 international, some eight per cent above 2024 — against a stated annual capacity of three million. AJet links Edremit with Istanbul year-round and summer charters top up the schedule; 31,076 aircraft movements in 2025 also reflect busy light-aviation activity. Dedicated freight handling is absent: no freighter services, no cargo terminal, only limited belly capacity on passenger flights. Ground handling at the field is provided by operators including Çelebi Aviation. Exporters around Balıkesir, Ayvalık and Akçay therefore route air freight through İzmir Adnan Menderes (ADB), roughly 200 km and just over two hours by road, with Istanbul (IST) as the intercontinental alternative.
