About Sinop Airport

Sinop Airport is located in Bostancılı, in the central district of Sinop Province, approximately 8 km from the city center. Opened to civil air traffic in 1993 and operated by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMİ), the airport serves as an important regional gateway for Sinop and the central Black Sea coast, supporting tourism, trade and year-round access to the province.

The airport has an integrated domestic and international terminal building with a modern structure of around 12,700 m² and an annual passenger capacity of approximately 2 million. Its facilities include check-in counters, passport control points, parking, VIP services, passenger waiting areas and essential airside infrastructure. Traffic is generally steady through the year, with demand rising in the summer season as leisure travel, family visits and Black Sea tourism increase.

Scheduled services at Sinop Airport are mainly operated by Turkish Airlines and its related network partners, with Istanbul as the primary direct domestic destination and onward connections available to many cities in Türkiye and abroad. While regular international flights are limited and mostly handled through connecting services, demand for flight tickets is supported by local residents, business travelers, students and seasonal visitors seeking reliable domestic flights and convenient access to international flights via Istanbul.
