Adnan Menderes Airport Domestic Terminal | ZM YASA Architectural Photography

Turkey’s largest domestic terminal

Constructed by TAV Construction, the new domestic terminal will have an indoor area of approximately 200,000 square meters. The project involves a 2537 vehicle capacity closed car park and a 3 thousand vehicle capacity open car park.

Main features of the terminal are:

64 check-in counters
40 elevators
30 escalators and 666 meters of travelators
5 thousand luggage capacity per hour
A total of 291,267 square meter construction area
Environmentally friendly, award-winning terminal

TAV Airports developed all design, construction and operation phases of the new airport within the framework of environmental sustainability policy.

Complying with the "Waste Management Implementation", 99 per cent of the wastes generated during the demolition of the old terminal were reused or recycled. This implementation received “Innovative Sustainability Practices Reward” given by Sustainable Development Society (SDK).

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification application for Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport New Domestic Terminal and Multi-Storey Car Park was made in December 2012. ADB New Domestic Terminal will be the first airport terminal in Turkey having LEED certificate.

Whilst the heat pumps, rainwater harvesting systems, graywater reuse system, solar collectors and trigeneration plant minimize the energy and water consumption, they will accommodate a much more efficient waste management. Terminal has a trigeneration plant, which generates heating and cooling energy during power generation.

Modern architecture

The terminal building will provide a unique experience to passengers both functionally and aesthetically with sharp and contemporary lines, indoor gardens and pools and spacious internal areas. Passengers will be able to see the parked aircrafts, the apron and the planes taking off even from the check-in lounge.

With 29 meter vaulted roof, the terminal was designed to have a consistent appearance with the international terminal that it will adjoin to.

There will not be a security check with x-ray devices at the entrances of the airport, which is chosen as pilot scheme airport, after necessary permissions are received.
