Field and clock profile
Adnan Menderes International Airport is a low-elevation field at 412 ft (126 m), positioned at 38.2924° N, 27.1570° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 10,630 ft / 3,240 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
Menderes is the closest retained city-time anchor at 5.2 km. ATH Spata-Artemida is the closest retained airport alternative at 284 km.
Country airport peers
ADB is compared with ISL Istanbul(Bakırköy) at 330 km, SAW Pendik, Istanbul at 343 km, IST Istanbul at 358 km, ESB Ankara at 543 km, NAV Nevşehir at 644 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.

These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at adnanmenderesairport.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for ADB
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
ADB uses Europe/Istanbul (TRT, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Adnan Menderes International Airport is about 13 km from central Gaziemir; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
ATH Spata-Artemida is the closest retained alternate at 284 km, time difference -1h.
When source checks matter
adnanmenderesairport.com 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 ADB inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
ADB ranks #2 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
ADB shares Europe/Istanbul with ADA Seyhan 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
ADB is 412 ft (126 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include KZN 411 ft (125 m) (1 ft delta) · FKB 408 ft (124 m) (4 ft delta) · WRO 404 ft (123 m) (8 ft delta) · MUX 403 ft (123 m) (9 ft delta) · SOC 421 ft (128 m) (9 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
ADB's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are ATH 284 km -1h · ISL 330 km +0h · SAW 343 km +0h.
