Field and clock profile
Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport is a moderate-elevation field at 3,100 ft (945 m), positioned at 38.7719° N, 34.5345° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 9,842 ft / 3,000 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
Nevşehir is the closest retained city-time anchor at 22 km. ASR Kayseri is the closest retained airport alternative at 83 km.
Country airport peers
NAV is compared with ASR Kayseri at 83 km, ESB Ankara at 201 km, ADA Seyhan at 209 km, COV Tarsus at 214 km, GZT Gaziantep at 329 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.

OurAirports classifies NAV as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
NAV (LTAZ) is a moderate-elevation field at 3,100 ft (945 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
NAV sits in a broader regional network with 4 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
NAV's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 9,842 ft / 3,000 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete.
General Directorate of State Airports (Turkey) is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for NAV.
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 NAV
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
NAV uses Europe/Istanbul (TRT, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport is about 83 km from central Nevşehir; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
ASR Kayseri is the closest retained alternate at 83 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 NAV inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
NAV ranks #9 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
NAV shares Europe/Istanbul with ADA Seyhan TR · ADB Gaziemir TR · ASR Kayseri TR · COV Tarsus TR · ESB Ankara TR · GZT Gaziantep TR. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
NAV is 3,100 ft (945 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include ESB 3,125 ft (952 m) (25 ft delta) · CLO 3,162 ft (964 m) (62 ft delta) · CWB 2,988 ft (911 m) (112 ft delta) · MHD 3,263 ft (995 m) (163 ft delta) · IKA 3,305 ft (1,007 m) (205 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
NAV's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are ASR 83 km +0h · ESB 201 km +0h · ADA 209 km +0h · COV 214 km +0h.

Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Because the airport sits well outside central Nevşehir, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Kayseri 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.
Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport has 4 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 NAV, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
