## Description

Pistachios, textiles, carpets and machinery from one of Turkey's busiest export regions move through Gaziantep Oğuzeli International Airport (IATA: GZT, ICAO: LTAJ), which handled around 25,000 tonnes of cargo in 2023 and is southeastern Anatolia's leading freight airport. The field lies about 20 kilometres southeast of Gaziantep, the industrial heart of the region. A dedicated cargo terminal with customs clearance plus dry and temperature-controlled storage supports these flows, and Turkish Cargo connects GZT to the global network via Istanbul, largely as belly capacity; a dedicated freighter programme is not confirmed. On the passenger side, Turkish Airlines, AJet, Pegasus and SunExpress serve Istanbul, Ankara and several European cities intensively, and the terminal opened in 2021 counted about 3.07 million travellers in 2025, four percent more than the year before. The O-52 motorway and trunk roads toward Adana, Şanlıurfa and Kilis tie the airport into the regional trucking network and to the Syrian border. Shippers needing more capacity, freighter departures or a wider carrier choice route via Adana (ADA) or the Istanbul hubs IST and SAW.
