Esenboğa International Airport

Esenboğa International Airport (LTAC) is a large airport in Ankara, Türkiye. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code LTAC or IATA code ESB. It sits in Asia.

Esenboğa International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Esenboğa International Airport lies at 3,125 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Europe/Istanbul. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess inventory for LTAC updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

As one of the larger fields in Türkiye, LTAC tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.
