Owner is DHMİ; passenger terminals are operated by Fraport TAV Antalya Airport Terminal A.Ş. Official site: antalya-airport.aero. - >- TAV Airports investor traffic tables put AYT at 39,160,491 passengers in 2025 (+3% vs 38,133,273 in 2024): 32,213,140 international and 6,947,351 domestic. That keeps Antalya among Türkiye’s busiest airports and one of Europe’s largest pure leisure gateways — summer charter banks dominate the feel of the building. - >- As of 27 October 2025 23:59, Fraport TAV states all international flights operate from Terminal 2. Domestic flights use the Domestic Terminal. International Terminal 1 remains on the campus and is linked by a free landside ring shuttle that also serves Terminal 2 and Domestic — stops are in front of each departures curb; shuttles run about every 20 minutes. - >- Airfield (public AIP / published data): three runways — 18L/36R and 18C/36C each about 3,400 × 45 m concrete, plus 18R/36L about 2,990 m asphalt; field elevation about 54 m / 177 ft. Focus / operating-base traffic includes SunExpress, Pegasus, Corendon, Freebird, AJet, Southwind and Turkish Airlines leisure flows — verify live FIDS, not memory. - >- Phase-1 expansion (Fraport, April 2025): Terminal 2 gained about 132,000 m² and the domestic terminal about 38,000 m² (~€850 million JV investment; T2 inaugurated 12 April 2025). Design capacity messaging now sits in the ~80–82 million annual passenger range; a new ATC tower is planned for handover by end-2026. New concession operating phase starts 1 Jan 2027 through 2051. - >- Priority Pass currently lists two experiences: Comfort Lounge (International Terminal 2, airside after passport control, Floor 3, 00:00–23:59, max 3 h) and CIP Lounge Domestic (Domestic Terminal, airside 2nd floor by Gate 7, 00:00–23:59, max 3 h). Paid FTA Exclusive / CIP walk-up and online products (Comfort / Elite / Premium) are separate Fraport TAV products on cip.antalya-airport.aero — do not assume Priority Pass equals every CIP desk. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Summer charter banks are the real capacity test detail: >- June–September European charter and LCC turns stack check-in, outbound immigration, and security harder than the floor plan suggests — even after the 2025 Terminal 2 expansion. Build 3 hours for busy international departures in peak season; 2–2.5 hours is usually enough for quieter shoulder-season or domestic hops. Late-evening holiday returns can still look short on the clock and long in the queue. summary: >- Peak-summer international: plan ~3 hours curb-to-gate; shoulder/domestic can work closer to 2–2.5 hours. category: timing - label: Terminal title: International = Terminal 2 now — do not trust old T1 habits detail: >- Fraport TAV’s passenger notice: all international flights from Terminal 2 since 27 Oct 2025 23:59. Domestic stays at the Domestic Terminal. If you are landside at the wrong building, use the free ring shuttle between Domestic, Terminal 1, and Terminal 2 (departures-front stops, ~every 20 minutes). Airside, after passport control in T2 you are committed — Comfort Lounge is the Priority Pass international product on Floor 3. summary: >- Intl departures live in Terminal 2; Domestic is separate; free curb shuttle stitches the campus. category: terminal - label: Food title: Expanded F&B is real — peak banks still empty the good seats detail: >- Fraport’s expansion messaging cites dozens of restaurants and a dedicated F&B joint venture (“Best Food for All”) across the enlarged terminals, including Turkish and international quick-service. That is a genuine upgrade versus the old crush halls — but a Saturday afternoon German/UK charter bank will still wipe seating near popular gates. Eat early after security or use a lounge if you have access. summary: >- Better restaurant count after 2025 expansion; still grab food before the gate call in July–August. category: food - label: Status title: Priority Pass ≠ every FTA Exclusive CIP desk detail: >- Priority Pass / LoungeKey-style networks currently advertise Comfort Lounge in Terminal 2 and CIP Lounge Domestic only. FTA Exclusive sells higher Comfort / Elite / Premium CIP packages online and walk-up (published 2026 walk-in examples: Comfort intl ~€85, Elite dep ~€160, Premium ~€450 — online usually cheaper; domestic Comfort listed in TRY). Confirm which product your card actually opens before you walk past duty-free hoping for Elite. summary: >- PP = Comfort (T2) + domestic CIP; paid Elite/Premium CIP is a separate purchase path. category: status lounges: - name: Comfort Lounge zone: >- Airside International Terminal 2 after security and passport control — Floor 3 (Priority Pass location notes) hours: '00:00–23:59 daily (Priority Pass; max stay typically 3 hours)' access: - Priority Pass / LoungeKey / DragonPass when contracted - FTA Exclusive Comfort CIP paid walk-up / online (confirm live price) bestFor: - Priority Pass on international departures from Terminal 2 - Escaping the peak-summer gate seating crush after passport control summary: >- Primary international Priority Pass lounge after the Oct 2025 Terminal 2 consolidation. Priority Pass lists 24-hour opening with a 3-hour max stay, digital cards accepted, soft drinks, AC, flight screens, accessible entry, and an indoor smoking area — treat food as light lounge fare, not a full restaurant. Capacity limits are real on July–August charter banks; arrive early after passport control. FTA Exclusive also sells a Comfort CIP product (published walk-in about €85 / online about €65 for intl departures through end-2026 — verify at cip.antalya-airport.aero). verdict: worth-it terminal: International Terminal 2 amenities: - Soft drinks and light refreshments - Air conditioning - Wi-Fi / flight information - Accessible entry - Digital card acceptance - Indoor smoking area (PP notes) - name: CIP Lounge Domestic zone: >- Airside Domestic Terminal after security — 2nd floor, turn right; next to Gate 7 (Priority Pass) hours: '00:00–23:59 daily (Priority Pass; max stay typically 3 hours)' access: - Priority Pass / LoungeKey / DragonPass when contracted - >- FTA Exclusive Comfort CIP paid walk-up / online for domestic (TRY pricing) bestFor: - Priority Pass on domestic departures - Quiet seat before Pegasus / AJet / SunExpress domestic turns summary: >- Domestic-only Priority Pass CIP room after security near Gate 7. Priority Pass lists 24-hour hours, 3-hour max stay, children under 2 free, soft drinks, AC, and a separate outdoor smoking area — access can be restricted when full. Useless for Terminal 2 international boarding passes; do not cross landside hoping to “visit then go international” without re-clearing. FTA Exclusive publishes domestic Comfort CIP in TRY (examples through end-2026: walk-in ₺2,000 / online ₺1,500 for age 12+ — confirm live). verdict: worth-it terminal: Domestic Terminal amenities: - Soft drinks and light refreshments - Air conditioning - Flight information - Accessible entry - Digital card acceptance - name: FTA Exclusive Elite / Premium CIP (paid) zone: >- International CIP / FTA Exclusive desks and lounges in the international complex — book or buy the specific Comfort / Elite / Premium product; not a Priority Pass substitute hours: Tied to purchased CIP service / flight (confirm on booking) access: - Paid FTA Exclusive online or walk-up (Elite / Premium tiers) - Airline or tour CIP vouchers when issued bestFor: - Travellers buying a full CIP meet-and-assist / premium lounge package - Anyone whose Priority Pass app does not show Elite access at AYT summary: >- Separate paid Fraport TAV CIP ladder above the basic Comfort lounge: published 2026 direct prices include Elite international departure walk-in about €160 / online about €130, Elite arrival about €70 (age 12+), and Premium international departure walk-in about €450 / online about €390 (child bands and VAT rules on the CIP site). Extras such as short massage / PlayStation / meeting room are sold at the Elite desk per the same tariff page. Verdict is “depends” because you are buying a package, not redeeming a lounge membership — worth it only if you want the escort/queue product, not just a seat and soft drinks. verdict: depends terminal: International (FTA Exclusive / CIP) amenities: - Lounge seating and refreshments (tier-dependent) - Optional paid extras at Elite desk - Online pre-booking via cip.antalya-airport.aero waterOptions: - kind: purchase name: Landside retail bottled water zone: landside price: Typically ₺40–80 for a small bottle depending on shop (confirm at till) summary: >- Convenience shops and cafés before security sell sealed bottles.

Travellers commonly refill from washroom taps after security; water is generally considered potable in Turkish airports but taste varies — sealed bottles remain the reliable plan for long charter waits. location: >- Public washrooms after security in Domestic and Terminal 2 airside departures (no reliably signed fountain network published) terminal: Domestic / Terminal 2 airside airportistScore: 6.7 slug: ayt region: Middle East --- > Markdown for [/airports/ayt](/airports/ayt).
