Sinop Airport (LTCM) serves the Black Sea coastal city of Sinop in northern Turkey, offering a long ILS-equipped runway suited to airliner and general aviation traffic alike. Opened in 1993 on the site of a former US military airfield, it remains a modest regional gateway with scheduled service from Istanbul, making it an interesting stop for a simulated cross-country along Turkey's Black Sea coast.
Sinop Airport is a medium-sized public airport serving the city of Sinop on Turkey's Black Sea coast. It is operated by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority and has been open since 1993. The field offers an ILS approach and a long hard-surfaced runway, alongside a shorter crosswind strip, giving it more capability than many small regional Turkish airports, which makes it a worthwhile destination for a simulator pilot exploring the Black Sea Region.
The airport sits at coordinates 42.0158N, 35.0664E at an elevation of 20 feet, on the Black Sea coast in Sinop Province, northern Turkey. No specific airspace classification, FIR boundary or ATZ detail is given in the available sources, but the field lies close to the Black Sea shoreline near the town of Sinop itself.
Sinop Airport has two physical runways. The main runway, 05/23, is 6,052 feet long with a hard surface and lighting, and carries an ILS on the 23 approach. A secondary runway, 10/28, is shorter at around 2,365 to 2,366 feet, also hard-surfaced and lit, but without an instrument approach.
The tower and approach frequency at Sinop is 126.300 MHz. No specific callsign, additional navaids or published instrument approach procedures beyond the ILS on runway 23 are detailed in the available sources.
Sinop Airport opened in 1993 and is operated by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority. Its runway occupies the site of an older airfield that had previously been used by a United States military base at Sinop. The airport's IATA code was later changed from SIC to NOP.
The airport currently sees scheduled passenger service, with Turkish Airlines operating daily flights from Istanbul and Pegasus Airlines flying to Istanbul-Sabiha Gokcen. No details on general aviation facilities, fuel availability, operating hours or PPR requirements are given in the available sources.
