Flights to Tarsus
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Tarsus is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Çukurova International Airport (COV), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, whose 11,482-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Çukurova International Airport | COV | 16 km (10 mi) | 11,482 ft | 35 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,482 ft, COV can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 35 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
