AIRPORT GUIDE ESB

Ankara Esenboğa Airport

AnkaraDomestic + European routes

Ankara Esenboğa Airport (ESB) has a dense domestic network connecting the capital to Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya and Trabzon, among others. Turkish Airlines, AJet and Pegasus also fly direct from here to several European cities.

Delays are more frequent in the morning and evening business-travel peaks, and in winter Central Anatolia's harsh weather can occasionally affect operations. Not every weather-labelled delay is exempt from compensation — the cause should be examined case by case.

Flights to and from Ankara Esenboğa Airport are covered by Turkey's SHY-YOLCU regulation, and EU261 can also apply on Europe-linked services. On eligible flights, compensation ranges from €250 to €600 by distance and can be claimed up to 3 years back.
