Air traffic control

[edit]

Air traffic controllers at the tower also control the nearby coastguard helicopters.

Public Transportation

[edit]

The airport is serviced by taxis, dolmus, charter bus and the H2 bus line run by the Samsun Metropolitan Municipality. Interest has been announced regarding extending the Samsun Tram to the airport or developing a bus line to connect the tram to the airport.

Future expansion

[edit]

Construction of a taxiway would remove landing delays due to previously landed aircraft taxiing back down the runway. However to do this land adjacent to the airport would need to be purchased.
