Germania (Berlin Schönefeld) and Hamburg Airways (Hamburg Helmut Schmidt) have both not yet received approval by Turkish government authorities for planned charter flights on behalf of German tour operator Öger Tours to Gazipasa. The new airport is approximately 150km east of Antalya and serves several tourism destinations including Alanya better than Antalya. Due its short runway and location close to several mountains, crews require special training and the Turkish authorities need to approve each operator prior to operations to the airport. Other carriers planning to serve Gazipasa this summer include Air Finland (Helsinki Vantaa), SAS Scandinavian Airlines (SK, Copenhagen Kastrup) and Transavia Airlines (HV, Amsterdam Schiphol).
