Airport guide

Van Ferit Melen Airport (LTCI) is a medium airport in Van, Türkiye. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code LTCI or IATA code VAN. It sits in Asia.

Van Ferit Melen Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Van Ferit Melen Airport sits at 5,480 ft above sea level. Hot-and-high conditions can meaningfully reduce takeoff performance in summer — planners should factor density altitude into payload and fuel decisions.

Local operations run on Europe/Istanbul. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for LTCI 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.
