Official site is the DHMİ Trabzon page — there is no separate commercial operator site. Pegasus leftover ~6 km leftover-conflicts; sit DHMI 7 km. - >- DHMİ passenger totals: 3,874,640 in 2025 (3,029,171 domestic + 845,469 international) and 3,655,579 in 2024 (2,845,342 + 810,237). Wikipedia leftover 2024 domestic 2,825,342 leftover-conflicts the DHMİ table — sit DHMİ. YTD August 2026 was 2,700,023 vs 2,701,210 a year earlier (flat). Do not sit leftover 4 million as traffic — that is published capacity, not 2025 throughput. - >- Live campus: Domestic Terminal (glass hall signed İç Hatlar Terminali) plus an International side. New 3,077 m² international arrivals hall and 860 m² CIP building opened 27 August 2024 (ministry/DHMİ). A replacement airport further north is planned because the live runway cannot grow east/west — it is not open. Single asphalt runway 11/29, 2,640 × 45 m, field elevation ~32 m / 104 ft. Pegasus operating base. Pegasus leftover “Turkey’s only sea-parallel airport.” - >- Turkish Airlines: arrive 2 h domestic / 3 h international; desks and kiosks close 45 min domestic / 60 min international; online check-in 24 h–90 min. Pegasus TZX: web and mobile check-in close 60 min; international TZX is SMS boarding-pass only (no full web/mobile intl check-in); no kiosk. - >- No Priority Pass, LoungeKey, or DragonPass listing for TZX (PP Turkey city list omits Trabzon; LoungeKey Trabzon URL 404; DragonPass has no TZX lounge). The public product is the DHMİ domestic CIP. Miles&Smiles Elite / Elite Plus enter that CIP free; Classic / Classic Plus pay 1,500 TL on Turkish Airlines lounge T&Cs (group with Çukurova, Kayseri, Gaziantep, Hatay, Rize-Artvin, Diyarbakır). Aggregator leftover ₺1,000 walk-in / 06:00–22:00 leftover-unverified on DHMİ — omit as official hours/price. - >- No metro. No airport rail. Ground options: HAVAŞ coaches (0850 222 0 487; DHMİ links city and Rize summer sheets), municipal buses and dolmuş on the adjacent coastal road — not at the terminal door — official taxi cooperative 0462 325 67 29, and Uber Taxi (licensed cabs via the Uber app, including TZX). Bolt is not in the site’s Middle East rideshare set. DHMİ 2026 parking group A with Adana/Antalya/Esenboğa: car ₺90 / first hour, ₺280 / 12–24 h. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: THY 2 h / 3 h — Pegasus desks die at 60 minutes detail: >- THY counters and kiosks close 45 minutes before domestic departure and 60 minutes before international; online check-in runs 24 hours–90 minutes. Pegasus publishes no TZX kiosk, and international TZX is SMS boarding-pass only — do not assume a last-minute web boarding pass on a Gulf or Europe Pegasus flight. Black Sea banks still bunch at the single security filter. summary: >- Plan Turkish Airlines’ own 2-hour domestic / 3-hour international buffer; Pegasus TZX check-in is a hard 60-minute close on web, mobile, and the airport desk. category: timing - label: Terminal title: Domestic and international are separate halls — match the curb detail: >- Domestic is the glass İç Hatlar Terminali. International arrivals moved into a new 3,077 m² hall on 27 August 2024 with an 860 m² CIP building; leftover “one terminal does everything” is stale. The replacement airport north of here is a plan, not a live door. Wrong-terminal taxis are the first-timer tax. summary: >- Drop at the hall on the boarding pass. The domestic CIP is useless once you have cleared into international, and there is no airside walk between the two. category: terminal - label: Food title: Eat in the domestic hall — do not expect a hub food court detail: >- October 2022 terminal photos show Simit Sarayı / simit kiosks on the mezzanine and Çakra café/pastry airside — treat names as leftover-2022, confirm the unit on the day. There is no confirmed McDonald’s or Starbucks map. No Priority Pass food lounge. Buy a sealed bottle before security; DHMİ has not published a fountain list for TZX (a leftover “Trabzon sebili” item is actually Malatya). summary: >- Simit, coffee, and café kiosks sit in the domestic landside/airside hall; international holds are thinner. The CIP is the only sit-down product if you already have Miles&Smiles access. category: food - label: City link title: 'Taxi or HAVAŞ — the city bus is on the coastal road, not the curb' detail: >- DHMİ: 7 km to the city. Trabzon Büyükşehir taxi tariff from 1 April 2026: flag ₺71.50, ₺58.50/km for the first 5 km, ₺49.40/km after, minimum ₺208. HAVAŞ city and Rize sheets live as DHMİ downloads; call 0850 222 0 487 rather than sitting leftover ₺190/₺270/₺320 aggregator fares. Uber in Trabzon is Taxi, not UberX. Parking: ₺90 first hour / ₺280 per 12–24 h (DHMİ 2026 group A). summary: >- Official taxi rank and HAVAŞ are the honest doors. Municipal buses run on the Trabzon–Rize coastal road next to the field; they are not a terminal-forecourt product. category: status lounges: - name: DHMİ CIP Lounge zone: domestic airside after security access: - >- Miles&Smiles Elite members / Elite Plus (free on Turkish Airlines lounge T&Cs for Trabzon) - >- Miles&Smiles Classic / Classic Plus paid CIP — 1,500 TL on Turkish Airlines lounge T&Cs bestFor: - Domestic Turkish Airlines / AJet / Pegasus holds with Miles&Smiles Elite - Paid Classic CIP when the domestic gate area is standing-room only summary: >- The only public lounge product at TZX is this DHMİ domestic CIP. Priority Pass, LoungeKey, and DragonPass do not list Trabzon. International boarding passes cannot use it — halls are separate. Hours and a generic walk-up tariff are unpublished on DHMİ; sit the THY 1,500 TL Classic figure rather than aggregator leftover ₺1,000 / 06:00–22:00. Showers are not advertised. The 860 m² CIP building opened 27 August 2024 is a protocol/CIP hall, not a confirmed Priority Pass room. verdict: depends terminal: Domestic Terminal amenities: - Seating - Snacks and drinks (confirm at the door) - Wi-Fi (SSID unpublished) waterOptions: [] airportistScore: 6.4 slug: tzx region: Middle East --- > Markdown for [/airports/tzx](/airports/tzx).
