## Description

A single runway, a modest terminal and no cargo shed sum up Erzincan Yıldırım Akbulut Airport (IATA: ERC, ICAO: LTCD), a Turkish regional field run by the state operator DHMİ in a high valley on the upper Euphrates in eastern Anatolia, roughly 1,150 metres above sea level. It handled 460,757 passengers in 2025, almost all of them domestic: in November 2025 just 384 of 33,741 travellers used an international route. AJet and Pegasus Airlines link the provincial capital chiefly with Istanbul and Ankara. There is no freight terminal, no freighter operation and no dedicated air-cargo customs post; whatever moves flies as belly cargo on passenger aircraft. DHMİ's combined "yük" figure, which lumps freight, mail and baggage together, came to about 3,635 tonnes from January to November 2025 — a level that evidences no commercial cargo throughput. Shippers therefore route air freight for Erzincan via Erzurum (ERZ) a little over 180 km east or Trabzon (TZX) on the Black Sea coast, which doubles as a seaport, while intercontinental consignments are cleared at Istanbul (IST) and trucked inland.
