Flights to Çankaya
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Çankaya is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Esenboğa International Airport (ESB), 26 km (16 mi) from the centre, whose 12,303-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Esenboğa International Airport | ESB | 26 km (16 mi) | 12,303 ft | 3,125 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,303 ft, ESB can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 3,125 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
