History
Adana Airport was constructed on a farmland at the Şakirpaşa area, 2.3 km west of the historical city centre. It was opened to service as a civil-military airport in 1937 and became a full civil airport in 1956. During the uncontrolled western expansion of the city from 1950s to 1990s, the airport was surrounded by unplanned low-income neighborhoods from east, west and north.
