[edit] Traffic
In 2006, 38,258 passengers used the airport, visited by 545 passenger planes and 475 cargo planes.[2] Due to the low passenger capacity of the hinterland, the airport could not be continuously operated profitable. Low cost airlines flew the airport on scheduled flights in the past for a couple of months only. The fourth period started on May 28, 2007 with a scheduled flight of Atlasjet to Istanbul Atatürk Airport.[3]
