MM Simulations - LTBJ - Izmir Adnan Menderes International Airport

Izmir, Turkey’s main airport is located 18 km (11 mi) southwest of the city center in the Gaziemir district along the D.550 highway, which continues south through Selcuk and Aydin before eventually reaching Gokova in Mugla. The new international terminal, which was designed by Yakup Hazan Architecture, opened in September 2006, with the new domestic terminal opening around March 2014. It replaced Cigli Air Base which is now used only as a military base.

In 2017, ADB served 12.8 million passengers, 10.5 million of which were domestic passengers. It has ranked 5th in terms of total passenger traffic (after Istanbul Airport, Antalya Airport, Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Esenboga Airport), and 4th in terms of domestic passenger traffic (after Ataturk Airport, Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Esenboga Airport) within the country

ADB has two runways, 16R/34L and 16L/34R; however, the two runways cannot operate simultaneously due to both their proximity and the lack of a dedicated taxiway to runway 16R/34L in the past. This has led to the use of runway 16L/34R as the primary runway, while runway 16R/34L is used mostly as a parallel taxiway, although it is available for use as a backup if the main runway is undergoing maintenance or is unavailable for whatever reason. In efforts to expand the airport’s facilities, existing entrance taxiways were refurbished, along with the construction of a parallel taxiway, entrance taxiways, and aprons for passenger and cargo aircraft, as well as for de-icing. Completed in March 2020, the new 280,000 m2 (3,000,000 sq ft) apron area increased the remote parking capacity of the airport from 35 to 61 with a total of 26 new spaces – eight of which are designated for use by private aircraft. In 2020, Adnan Menderes Airport was named one of the best European airports with a capacity of 5 – 15 million passengers by Airports Council International.

This project includes:

• Highly detailed terminal and interior
• Custom night lighting
• Accurate taxiway and parking positions
• Custom runway slopes
• Custom surroundings

Only known issue for now: Some road traffic is appearing between parking 43 and 49. This issue is caused by OSM Data and reported to MSFS via Zendesk. Also, our team has edited the OSM data and latest version has been approved. With the following updates of the sim, this traffic should disappear by itself.

Temporary fix: You can disable your traffic option from your in-game settings.
