Adana Şakirpaşa Airport (ADA) is the former scheduled passenger airport for Adana. Passenger flights transferred to Çukurova International Airport (COV) in August 2024. Current airline information directs Adana travelers to COV, located in Tarsus. If you reached this page through an older ADA reference, check the actual airport on your current ticket before booking transport or choosing a flight.

Understand the ADA-to-COV passenger change

An airline transfer notice identifies August 11, 2024 as the date its Adana departures and arrivals moved to COV. Türkiye’s airport authority lists Çukurova’s code as COV and its location as Mersin/Tarsus. These are distinct airport identities.

This page’s ADA identifier preserves the older airport reference. It does not make ADA the reporting location for a newly booked scheduled passenger journey to Adana. Use the current airline confirmation to determine where to arrive.

Search for Adana travel using the current airport

Turkish Airlines’ updated Adana destination information describes COV as the airport that replaced Şakirpaşa for passenger travel. When searching flights, look at the airport name and code on the selected result, not only the Adana city label.

Compare the actual itinerary offered for your dates. A historical page for ADA or an old flight screenshot is not evidence of current passenger inventory there. Do not choose airport transport until the flight’s reporting airport is clear.

Check an existing booking with the operating airline

If a confirmation, saved itinerary or travel-agent message still shows ADA, ask the operating airline which airport applies to that specific booking. Provide the reservation reference, flight number and travel date so the answer relates to the current journey.

The original transfer announcement described unchanged times during its 2024 transition. That dated assurance does not guarantee that every present-day booking has the same schedule. Use the latest flight details and any later change notifications.

Arrange transport to Çukurova rather than the old terminal

COV is in Tarsus and serves travel to Adana and Mersin. Give a driver the full Çukurova International Airport name and COV code. A saved Şakirpaşa location or an old central-Adana airport route can send the vehicle to a different place.

For an arrival, provide the final accommodation address as well. An Adana hotel and a Mersin address require their own drop-off arrangements; the flight’s broad destination name does not establish the road service included.

Use current COV ground-transport instructions

Updated Turkish Airlines information identifies HAVAMAŞ buses for journeys from Çukurova. Check the provider’s current route, boarding point and timetable for your destination before selecting a bus connection. Do not reuse a Şakirpaşa-era city-bus number for COV.

For a reserved car, confirm the meeting location, passenger capacity and luggage requirements. For the return, work backward from the airline’s reporting deadline using the full drive from your actual starting address.

Keep airport information attached to the right code

Terminal directions, parking, counter locations and pickup instructions must relate to COV if that is your booked airport. A familiar airline name or similar city wording does not make older ADA facility details transferable to the new site.

Read the airport and terminal details in the current reservation. If information conflicts, resolve the reporting location with the operating airline before arranging another service that depends on it.

Compare current Adana journeys on Traveloka

Use Traveloka to compare the available Adana-area flight options and inspect the airport codes in each itinerary. Review stops, baggage and fare conditions alongside the onward journey from COV.

Keep older ADA references as context, while using the confirmed current airport for the trip. Store the flight and road-transfer details separately and send the same COV name and flight information to everyone arranging your arrival or departure.
