Tekirdağ Çorlu Airport is a joint military and civil aerodrome in Tekirdağ Province, Turkey, roughly 10.5 km east of the city of Çorlu and within reach of the Istanbul/Marmara region. Operated by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMI), it offers a long ILS-equipped runway and a busy military presence alongside light scheduled traffic, making it a useful and distinctive VFR and IFR destination for simulator pilots exploring north-western Turkey.
Tekirdağ Çorlu Airport (ICAO: LTBU, IATA: TEQ) serves the city of Çorlu in Tekirdağ Province, Turkey, and is operated by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMI) as a dual-use military and civil field. It opened to public/civil air traffic on 8 August 1998 and today combines a Turkish Air Force presence with limited scheduled airline service, giving it an interesting mix of military and civil character that sets it apart from purely commercial fields in the region.
The airport lies in Tekirdağ Province in Turkey's Marmara Region, about 10.5 km (6.5 nm) east of the city centre of Çorlu. Its proximity to Istanbul and the Marmara Sea places it within a busy stretch of Turkish airspace, and pilots should expect coordination with Istanbul-area approach control given its use for both military and civil movements.
The field has two paved, lit runways. Runway 04/22 is the primary strip at 9,832 ft, with an ILS serving runway 04. A second runway, 05L/23R, is also paved and lit, with runway 05L measuring 8,838 ft and runway 23R measuring 8,324 ft. Field elevation is 538 ft.
Approach service is provided as Yesilkoy Approach on 120.5 MHz. The airport broadcasts an ATIS on 119.925 MHz, with Ground on 121.9 MHz and Tower on 120.375 MHz. An ILS is available for runway 04.
Tekirdağ Çorlu Airport was opened to public and civil air traffic on 8 August 1998, having previously served as a military airfield. It continues to operate as a joint military and civil aerodrome under the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMI), reflecting its origins as a Turkish Air Force installation later adapted for scheduled passenger use.
The airport handles scheduled service, with Pegasus Airlines operating flights to Ankara. Passenger traffic has remained modest in recent years, with around 29,774 passengers and roughly 36,907 aircraft movements recorded in 2025 against an annual passenger capacity of 1,000,000. As a dual-use field, military flying continues alongside the limited civil schedule.
