Located just 6–7 kilometers from downtown, Trabzon Airport (TZX) is one of Turkey’s most central and accessible airports. Thanks to its coastal location and short distance to the city, travelers can reach their accommodation or destination in under 30 minutes, making it ideal for both business and leisure trips.

Taxi Services

Taxis are the most common way to get from the airport to the city. Vehicles are available 24/7 just outside the arrival terminal. The drive to the city center usually takes 15–20 minutes depending on traffic.

For 2025, the average fare ranges between 120 and 150 TRY (€3.50–€4.30) for downtown locations. If you’re heading to tourist areas like Uzungöl or Rize, expect a higher fare based on distance.

Tip: Always confirm the fare before starting the ride or ask the driver to use the meter. Many taxis also accept contactless payments or QR options.

Shuttle Buses

For travelers seeking a more economical transfer, airport shuttle buses are available shortly after flight arrivals.

These shuttles connect the airport to central areas in Ortahisar, Meydan, and other key neighborhoods. Average travel time is 25–30 minutes, and ticket prices are budget-friendly. Some services also extend to towns like Rize or Çayeli, useful for long-distance passengers.

Shuttles are coordinated with flight schedules, so passengers rarely wait long for a departure.

Public Buses

Several public bus lines stop near Trabzon Airport and offer service to various neighborhoods in the city. While not as fast or direct as taxis or shuttles, they are an affordable option for solo travelers or those staying outside tourist zones.

Payment can be made via TrabzonKart or cash, and buses generally operate between 06:00 and 22:00.
