## Description

One source market towers above all others at Dalaman Airport (IATA: DLM, ICAO: LTBS): the United Kingdom, whose holidaymakers have made this corner of Turkey's south-west – Marmaris, Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Göcek – their own. Several million passengers pass through each year, almost all of them between spring and autumn, when charter and low-cost waves dominate the apron; in winter the schedule shrinks to a handful of domestic links. Set between pine forests and the Lycian coast, the airport is operated by the YDA Group, which opened a new domestic terminal in 2018. For freight professionals the picture is plain: DLM is not an air cargo location. There are no freighter services and no meaningful cargo infrastructure. Shipments for the region's hotels, marinas and construction projects are flown into Istanbul (IST/SAW) or Izmir and trucked onward via the D400 coastal road or the route through Muğla – roughly four hours' drive from Izmir. Regional export goods, such as produce from the Dalaman plain, likewise move by road to the hubs. The practical exception is urgent material in high season: spare parts for a yacht in Göcek can ride as bellyhold on the dense summer passenger schedule, but anything beyond that routes via the major gateways.
