Together with the first
international plane arriving to GazipaÅŸa airport, a
new page has been opened on tourism. After the first
flight breaking all prejudgements, a lot of flight
firma’s have taken action to arrange flights.
The 20 year dream of the district got real.
Transavia’s 737-700 type plane, flying with
neckermann, made a very easy and safe arrival at the
GazipaÅŸa airport. The middle sized plane will go
into history as the biggest plane to land on
GazipaÅŸa airport until now. After this flight that
proves also middle sized planes can land on GazipaÅŸa
airport, hopeful declerations were made. The
director in Alanya of the Turkish Travel and Agency
Group (TÜRSAB) Ayhan Kaya, declared that with the
landing of this plane the district is now developing
faster again. Kaya did also apply for flights with
Corendon and waiting for approval. Kaya: ‘I think
the attention of all tour operators bringing
tourists to the district of Antalya will be drawn to
GazipaÅŸa. I believe that in the days ahead of us,
planes from Poland and Russia will also start to
come. For us international flights are more
important than national flights. They both weigh
different.’ He added: ‘I want the involved persons
to work on a longer airstrip.’

WE DID OUR JOB
The party leader of AKP (Adalet Kalkınma Partisi) in
the district said to be happy to open the airport,
of no use before, for service: ‘The airport was a
set left behind. After AKP got power in the
district, there have been important work done at the
airport. It has been opened and TAV takes care of
the direction. Borajet started national flights for
the first time during the rule of AKP. To Neckerman
an approval for landing has also been given.
Everyone in the district, especially working in
tourism, should take care of the airport. This
airport is one of the most important investments in
our district. If the airport should be developed
even more, we as a party will do wathever is needed.
Working hand in hand with people working in tourism
and tour operators, we are obligated to satisfy the
tourists. I also want to thank our superiors who
signed for important works during this period. I
also want to thank the politicians who did what they
could each seperately.’
IT WAS A HOPEFUL FLIGHT
The governor of GazipaÅŸa Muhittin Pamuk told about
the importance of the first plane coming from
outside the country to the airport for GazipaÅŸa,
Alanya and Anamur. Pamuk, also revealing that the
pilot flew another time over the airstrip to test
the airport, said the following: ‘It is very hopeful
to the district of GazipaÅŸa, Alanya and Anamur. This
was the first flight to GazipaÅŸa from outside the
country. We waited for the tourists with the
organisation we prepared. It was an important
beginning. We wish for this to continue in the
following period.’
