Retained as a source-backed local role note for ADA.
Country and authority
ADA sits in Turkey (Republic of Turkey), whose capital is Ankara. No specific civil-aviation authority label is attached in the current map, so this page avoids inventing one. Country context: Asia, Western Asia.
Traveler context
Common country-language signals: Turkish. Currency context: TRY (₺). ADA is listed with scheduled service in the airport source snapshot.
Names and local labels
ADA is also associated in the airport facts snapshot with Şakirpaşa, Sakirpasa. These labels help catch alternate airport names without creating separate duplicate airport pages.
Reference description
Former airport of Adana, Turkey (1937–2024). This description is used only as identity context; live flight status, terminal assignment, and airport alerts still belong to the official airport or airline source.
Source-specific cues
Regional role cue: It served as the main commercial airport of Cilicia region from 1937 to 2024. Name or history cue: Çukurova International Airport, which opened on 10 August 2024, replaced Şakirpaşa Airport as the regional airport.
Entity fingerprint
Wikidata airport entity: Q1430728 · Adana Şakirpaşa Airport. Administrative area: Adana. Named after: Adana. Entity official-site cross-check: dhmi.gov.tr
Field and clock profile
Adana Şakirpaşa Airport is a near sea-level field at 65 ft (20 m), positioned at 36.9822° N, 35.2804° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 9,022 ft / 2,750 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Istanbul (TRT, UTC+03:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
City and airport alternatives
Adana is the closest retained city-time anchor at 4.0 km. COV Tarsus is the closest retained airport alternative at 21 km.
Country airport peers
ADA is compared with COV Tarsus at 21 km, GZT Gaziantep at 195 km, ASR Kayseri at 200 km, NAV Nevşehir at 209 km, ESB Ankara at 402 km inside the retained Turkey airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
Route geometry
ADA-ALP Aleppo: 195 km, about 1h 5m, +0h. ADA-GZT Gaziantep: 195 km, about 1h 5m, +0h. ADA-ASR Kayseri: 200 km, about 1h 5m, +0h. ADA-NAV Nevşehir: 209 km, about 1h 6m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies ADA as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
ADA (LTAF) is a near sea-level field at 65 ft (20 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
ADA sits in a broader regional network with 5 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
ADA's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 9,022 ft / 2,750 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
General Directorate of State Airports (Turkey) is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for ADA.
- Çukurova International Airport, which opened on 10 August 2024, replaced Şakirpaşa Airport as the regional airport.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at dhmi.gov.tr, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for ADA
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
ADA uses Europe/Istanbul (TRT, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Adana Şakirpaşa Airport is about 4.0 km from central Seyhan; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
COV Tarsus is the closest retained alternate at 21 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
dhmi.gov.tr is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place ADA inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
ADA ranks #1 in the curated Turkey airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 10 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
ADA shares Europe/Istanbul with ADB Gaziemir TR · ASR Kayseri TR · COV Tarsus TR · ESB Ankara TR · GZT Gaziantep TR · ISL Istanbul(Bakırköy) TR. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
ADA is 65 ft (20 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include PIK 65 ft (20 m) (0 ft delta) · PMO 65 ft (20 m) (0 ft delta) · SFS 64 ft (20 m) (1 ft delta) · SSA 64 ft (20 m) (1 ft delta) · EZE 67 ft (20 m) (2 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
ADA's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are COV 21 km +0h · ALP 195 km +0h · GZT 195 km +0h · ASR 200 km +0h.

Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Seyhan is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Adana is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Adana Şakirpaşa Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from ADA, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
