## Description

The wooden gulets built in Bodrum's yards have sailed the Aegean for generations – today the peninsula they call home is Turkey's yachting capital, and Milas-Bodrum Airport (IATA: BJV, ICAO: LTFE) is its gateway. The double name is honest: the airport lies near the provincial town of Milas, a good 35 kilometres from the beaches and marinas that draw nearly all of its passengers. BJV handled around 4.41 million travellers in 2025, up 4.6 percent year on year, roughly 1.8 million of them on international routes, the vast majority in summer on charter and low-cost services from Europe plus the dense domestic shuttle to Istanbul. Freight, by contrast, barely registers: there are no freighter services and no cargo infrastructure worth the name, long runway notwithstanding. Shipments for the peninsula's hotels, marinas and boatyards are flown into Istanbul (IST/SAW) or Izmir (ADB) and trucked onward – about three hours from Izmir via the Milas expressway, a little over two from Dalaman (DLM). Regional agricultural exports, including olives and olive oil from the ancient groves around Milas, likewise move by road to the major cargo stations or as sea freight. For planning purposes the rule is simple: bellyhold on summer passenger flights for urgent small consignments, and Istanbul or Izmir for palletised, dangerous or temperature-controlled goods.
